You don’t have to do it alone, either! Reach out to your friends or others in the church to see who might want to partner with you.
better together.
At BFCN, we believe that life is better together — and not just because it sounds nice! We really believe the Christian life wasn’t meant to be lived solo. That’s why we have small groups we call Life Groups…because they’re truly life-giving (and honestly, just a lot more fun).
Not sure if it’s for you? That’s okay — come try it out anyway! No pressure, no expectations…just people.
We’re a group of real humans doing real life together — sharing meals, having meaningful conversations, some of us are chasing kids around, laughing a little too loud, and walking through life side by side. It’s more than just a midweek thing — it’s the kind of community that shows up for each other all week long.
This is where strangers become friends, friends become family, and faith grows in the middle of everyday life.
So come join us — we’ll save you a seat, there will DEFINITELY be food, and if nothing else, you’ll leave with a full stomach and a few new people in your corner.
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.
