Vision 25/26: A Year of Gospel Movement

Southridge: Sunday, September 14 | 9:15 & 11:00 AM
Twin City: Sunday, September 21 | 11:00 AM

You’re invited to join us as we will launch Vision 25/26. This year’s theme, A Year of Gospel Movement, focuses on the opportunity we have, both as individual followers of Jesus and as believers who make up Bible Center Church, to love and reach our neighbors. We’ll kick off our Fall sermon series, Becoming: Neighbors, and look at the four objectives for this ministry year. It will be an exciting day to celebrate what God has done and to anticipate what He will do in the future! (Note the time change from 9:30 to 9:15 AM at the Southridge Campus!)
