Followers Of Christ, United in Spirit
The purpose of FOCUS groups is to provide an environment where people can actively Love Each Other and grow spiritually at the same time. FOCUS groups primarily meet in homes and are made up of 8-15 members. They meet at various times during the week, but most of them meet on weeknights. We are always trying to start new groups that will fit people’s schedules and needs. Click on any of these links for more information:
Quick Facts
FOCUS Groups are small home-based groups that meet on a weekly basis to promote spiritual growth and church community. Activity FOCUS Groups, however, do not meet in homes due to the nature of the group.
Hiking, basketball, aerobics, running and the like are all potential groups you may find at BCC. FOCUS Groups maintain any and all of the following:
- Bible study
- Group prayer
- Life-Application
- Theological discussion
- Activity

Significance of FOCUS
Paul was thankful for the partnership in the gospel he had with the Christians at Philipi (Philippians 1:5) It is our hope that FOCUS groups will promote that same partnership in the gospel among the people involved, and that each person will grow spiritually as a result.
- Followers – We are followers of Christ, walking in His footsteps (1 John. 2:6).
- Of – Webster’s defines “of” as “belonging to,” and as Christians we belong to Christ (Romans 1:6).
