WHAT'S HAPPENING AT BEAR CREEK

  • Longest Night Service

And in the midst of the darkness, the light begins to dawn.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES

  • Seeking Advent

    When the magi saw a star, they didn't know just what it meant to the world. Join us for our Advent series, where we will see just how these "wise persons" followed the signs, listened to their hearts, and found that their hearts grew three sizes larger because of the infant Christ.
