Next Steps

The Next Steps class is a four-session series that helps you to better understand our vision, purpose and structure. At BCC, we have 4 pillars that we believe God is calling us to live out - Gather, Serve, Connect and Build.

Next Steps happens every Sunday after both gatherings in classroom 1.

Step 1

Gather

BCC Sunday gatherings are guided by Hebrews 10:25, which means to regularly gather for worship, prayer, and connection. Sunday gatherings are for all ages, allowing us to connect with God and community and to further embrace the vision of BCC.

Serve

Step 2

BCC emphasizes serving both inside and outside of the church context, including Sunday gatherings. Serving is commanded by Jesus and reflects a posture of humility and the priority of the well-being of others.

Connect

Step 3

We believe God created us for companionship and that discipleship happens best through relationships. The church functions as a family, growing together in Christ.

Build

Step 4

We are called to make an impact that is bigger than Sunday, bigger than Bettendorf and beyond our lifetime.
