You’ll find people of all ages from all over the Mattoon and surrounding areas enjoying great worship, fun and engaging messages from the Bible.The messages are simple, practical and relevant, and there’s free coffee.
Make a connection and expect great things to happen. At BCC, we offer basic classes where you meet others and learn our mission for serving Christ as a church. Each class will help you discover your unique place and equip you for serving Christ.
To develop and grow into "fit" Christians, we've got to get into the game. We do this through service and ministry to others. You may not be a Bible scholar or evangelist, but everyone can meet someone else's need with the resources that God has provided you.
