Welcome To BCC
If you are hoping to find a church in Birmingham, look no further! We feel that Christianity is for everyone, and that everyone is welcome at BCC, whether you are already a Christian or just beginning to explore your faith.
BCC is a vibrant Church in the heart of Birmingham City Centre.
We have a strong commitment to worship, the care of the needy and an affirming, encouraging, unified culture amongst ourselves.
We think transformation is possible for everyone and is necessary for all people. Transformation can only truly happen through a relationship with Jesus.
Reflective of our city, we are a multicultural church with people from over 90 separate nations attending each week. It’s a real blend and witness of how people in a city can not only get on, but also work together to make a difference.
Our wider church family is the Elim Pentecostal movement which has 500 churches in cities, towns and local communities all over the country and a worldwide missionary movement.
WHAT? WHY? HOW?
What do we do? Why do we do it?
Our mission statement is ‘Transformed Lives, Transforming Lives’. This is not just a neat slogan; we have a definite plan of how this can be done. Here is our four step strategy to bring about transformation:
Build
We seek to instruct, model and mentor so that people have built into them a healthy and biblical approach to life. We seek to heal and repair damage to people, building healthy and healing patterns so that people can live a different life.
Belong
We don’t think Christianity is a solo flight and so we seek always to connect people into our church. Belonging really happens when people connect to our life groups and join a ministry. We also believe that people need to belong to their work community and the community where they live. By belonging we have to live out what we believe and in the act of being part of our communities we are transformed through our interaction and relationships.
Become
We subscribe to the maxim ‘Come as you are, but don’t stay as you are’. We think everyone is on a journey of discovery and that we are to discover our gifts and deepen our richness in the roles that we are called upon to have. When we become better parents, transformation happens; when we discover our spiritual gifts and take up our ministries, we become transformed.
Be-Assigned
Things don’t change until someone is faithful to take up their assignment and to then work at it until change occurs. Transformed lives happen as we take up our assignment in God and work through all the difficulties we may face; we can come out the other side with an established ongoing ministry that serves others.
So connect... if you like what we do, why we do it and how we intend to bring it about, please take up our invitation to connect.
