BFC is a church of people who do not have it all figured out.

We wrestle with sins of all sorts. But what we have figured out is that Jesus Christ has all the answers to our deepest questions. He confronts our own sin in all its ugliness with the love and grace of His Cross, and the power of His Resurrection. We are all messy  people at BFC, but we are being transformed by His grace, made into His image.

If you are looking for a religious church, where appearances are more important than authenticity, you probably want to keep right on looking. BFC is not the place for you.

But if you are looking for God's truth preached in its raw power, if you are looking for a place where Christ is treasured, sin is dealt with, and holiness is pursued, you have found it.

  • To the unwed mother we say, "Come, repent with us, you belong here. You will find love and support here."
  • To the adulterer we say, "Come, repent with us, learn a new way of life here, learn a new love of purity here."
  • To the homosexual we say, "Come, repent with us, make this your church. You will find a loving welcome here as you wrestle with your identity."
  • To the mom and dad with a messed up home we say, "Come, repent with us, this is where you need to be. We all wrestle with parenting and relationships. There are answers that work in the Word."
  • To the dear woman who has aborted her child we say, "Come, repent with us, there is complete forgiveness at the Cross, God is waiting to shower you with love."
  • To the addicted we say, "Come, repent with us, there is freedom from the slavery of addiction in the Cross of Christ."
  • To the righteous and the religious we say, "Come, repent with us, perhaps God will favor you by revealing to you your own sinfulness. You too, can find grace at the Cross of Christ."
  • To the doubting and the skeptic we say, "Come, repent with us. We will honor your questions. We will not bypass your intellect and your doubts. Let us show you truth and love. Perhaps God will open your eyes."

If you are honestly wrestling with sin, be it pride or addictions, gossip or homosexuality, you would fit right in right here. Yes, many of us look nice and pretty on Sunday morning, but on the inside, we are -- all of us -- a church of recovering sinners.

Come join us as we celebrate the amazing Grace of our amazing God! You are welcome here.
