Church Description: BBC is a vibrant, growing community of believers that come from many surrounding towns. We are a Baptist church (no affiliation) that focuses on the important truths of God’s Word, but not on the preferences that so often divide churches. We utilize a blended worship format, welcome people where they are on their spiritual journey, and strive to consistently present God’s Word in a relevant manner.
Scarlet Thread Description: STM is a youth ministry with a mission of sharing the gospel with middle and high school youth. The mission is also focused on connecting these youth with healthy churches. Scarlet Thread’s primary tool for connecting with youth is through our afterschool recreation centers.
