KIDS

BSF explores God’s Word with the next generation because we believe life’s answers are found in the Bible. These answers provide children with a biblical foundation on which to build their love for and knowledge of God. Loving, well-trained leaders teach little ones in a safe environment about God and the Bible in age-appropriate ways. Children typically study the same passage as adults to help foster spiritual conversations, though their passage may be shorter for age-appropriateness. All children of eligible age must be registered under a parent or legal guardian. In addition, class members can be added as an additional BSF Adult (any class member who is registered in a BSF class or group that meets at the same time and location as the Children’s Program).

Ages 0-5 welcome!

Children must be accompanied by an adult. If the accompanying adult is not a parent or legal guardian, a signed form is necessary for attendance. 

CARE OPEN TO ALL

If you want to gain a community of christian veterans this is a place you are welcome!

There is no current meeting schedule, but if you would like to get connected email the leader.

WOMENS

The subject verse of this study both intrigues and scares us, right? But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 NIV This verse has always intrigued me. There is a world of challenges that humans face with this verse. I mean, really…are we full of love, joy and peace? Are we kind, good and faithful? Are we truly gentle and self-controlled? The truth is a big fat “No.” While we would all love to be all of these things all of the time or would love to just be some of these things some of the time, are we truly capable of it? Sadly, no, that’s the cold hard truth. Sadly, our human-ness wins out too much. But here’s the thing. Somehow, we tend to miss that one very important detail. It’s just not any fruit. It is the fruit of the Spirit. The truth of the matter is that the fruit of the flesh is what comes most naturally for all of us. In our natural state, we are selfish and indulgent, anxious, unfaithful, spiteful, and jealous. Our flesh wars against the Spirit, just as drought, pests, weeds, and heat war against healthy plants in nature. Come along for a deep dive into the Spirit and his fruit. Let’s figure out together what makes Him and it so special.

MEN
The long-awaited Messiah first promised in Genesis surprised everyone. He was not the kind of Savior people were looking for then … or now.

Gentle and compassionate to the marginalized yet bold in confronting religious institutions, Jesus came to make rebels His children. Forging the only path to forgiveness and salvation, Jesus deserved a crown of glory but willingly wore a crown of thorns. His death looked like defeat but brought eternal victory.

Embracing the words of Jesus will change your life.

OPEN TO ALL – Care

GriefShare is for people grieving the death of someone close to them.

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.

GriefShare is led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable GriefShare resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.

Each week your GriefShare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments, and on-location video.

MOTHERS
God has entrusted us with children for a reason! The biblical purpose of parenting is to do all in our power to impress the hearts of our children with a love for God. The souls of our children are our most important calling as parents. Our goal is to partner with you, encouraging and equipping you through life-changing resources that will strengthen and enrich your family.

From pregnancy through high school graduation, our group brings moms together for fellowship, fun, and friendships.  Our monthly meetings cover a variety of topics such as parenting, work/home balance, marital struggles, and self-care, all with a Biblical focus.  Walk through life with another mom in your same season.  We would love to have you join us!

Meets second and fourth Thursdays
This is an ongoing care group that offers direction and encouragement to couples who are tired of living on the edge in their relationship and want to move to a relationship that thrives. We will focus on the key steps to Transforming your Marriage. Through discussions, testimonials and exercises we will build a couple’s skills in areas of communication, trust, forgiveness, intimacy and prayer.

• Tim & Diana Journy have a great Christian-based ministry!  Their coaching and writing (Our Journey) skills are highlighted within their Marriage Transformed bi-weekly gatherings. They have several years of syllabus material at the ready but are also flexible, based upon group requests and needs. The tools couples are provided through the group meetings are instrumental in relationship building. Both of them have contributed greatly toward the successful resolution of many marital conflicts, ours included!  The group dynamics and synergy are very positive, and any struggling couple will be well served by attending their Care Group meetings on a regular basis! —Terry & Joann
• Marriage Transformed helped us realize that our problems were not unique. There is no way to measure the value of Marriage Transformed, it’s worth is priceless. —Ron and Julie
• Tim and Diana share tools!  We all need tools: to be a better player or a better public speaker.  To be a better spouse we need tools.  Tim and Diana teach tools to help you become a better spouse. —Anonymous
• I am thankful for the testimony of our coaches, Tim and Diana, and the many tools they teach.  I enjoy meeting with other liked minded couples. —T
• The value of Marriage Transformed: we share and learn with other couples who go through similar issues and struggles. —Anonymous
• “I’m not in the singles group.”  Without this group, I would have lost my marriage.  The group has given me the skills and support to make our marriage work!  —Anonymous
