Discipleship

The goal of our discipleship is to increasingly be filled with the love and character of Jesus by the work of the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:11-16). We don’t believe this just happens on Sundays, it’s a daily, life long commitment to following Jesus. We cannot grow in isolation. (Hebrews 10:24-25) Our growth takes place in the context of community and relationship. We must learn to be honest and vulnerable in trusted relationships where we can allow the truth of God’s Word to penetrate the deepest parts of our heart and character. Check out the ways we do that below

We also have a fall retreat and other outings. Contact Pastor Jeremy at jeremy@every1one.org to be added to Men of BCC communications or to ask any questions.

Our mission is to cultivate a generation of godly children in partnership with families. According to Christianity Today the ages of 4 to 14 are critical to healthy spiritual growth. Christ is actively working in the lives of our children!

The nursery is located adjacent to the toddler room on the South side of the building. We seek to provide a safe and comfortable environment for infants. Parents are welcome to stay with their babies and there is an area for moms who nurse as well.

This group meets adjacent to the bathrooms on the South side of the building. Children have the opportunity to enjoy a fun environment through play, snack time, crafts, and lessons for nurturing their faith in Christ.

School Age (K-5th)

Elementary school-age children may be checked in at the BCC lobby and will be dismissed during service to Myriad MMA Academy (417 Duff Ave, Ames, IA 50010). Children will walk over and are accompanied by adults at all times. At the end of service parents use the check-in tag to pick up their child from the second floor of the octagon. At Myriad MMA Academy, students meet in a large group with music and a lesson followed by small group time which includes snacks and games.
