Neighborhood Prayer Walk

Neighborhood Prayer Walk

Join our BCC family on a prayer walk in the Brookside neighborhood. We pray for the peace and prosperity of our community and our neighbors as we walk in small groups. The prayer walk takes 45 minutes, rain or shine. We meet at the church on Saturdays at 10am for a short devotional and then separate into groups to walk and pray. We are a church outside the walls seeking restoration in our community. Come, join us and let's pray together!
