The Wednesday night live group celebrating Christmas together!

better together.

At BFCN we believe that life is better together, and not just because that’s a catchy cliche! We believe strongly that the Christian life is meant to be lived in community. We help foster that community in our small groups, which we call “Life Group” because it is so life giving! Maybe you aren’t convinced, give it a try and see if it doesn’t change your life. We are a family and we are meant to be living alongside each other loving, supporting and encouraging one another throughout the week, not just on Sundays. This is where real, authentic connection happens and the seeds of discipleship are sown. Give us a chance this week, we promise we don’t bite!

real discipleship.

Discipleship doesn’t happen on a Sunday morning in a congregational setting through corporate worship and sitting in a seat listening to someone talk. Those things are valuable and meaningful, but Discipleship begins in a more personal place. One-on-one or in a small group setting, where you can be real and raw. Share your questions, struggles, and just life. Being seen, heard and loved. Finding encouragement and giving it. Have you ever wondered why sitcoms about a group of friends who always hang out and do everything together over long periods of life are so popular? There is a deep longing in the human heart for connection, consistency and yes, friendship. Ever wondered if that kind of community is just a fairy tale? It’s real and it’s available but don’t take our word for it! Come experience it for yourself.

authentic community.
