How to get connected
Bethlehem Baptist is a large community comprising of people from all walks of life, and at times it is a little daunting to know where to start making connections.
Sunday Services

Discovering Bethlehem Baptist Church Lunch
Every
6 - 8 weeks after the second Sunday service we host a lunch for those new to
BBC. After lunch we introduce BBC by way of
a brief presentation. These are relaxed gatherings, providing an
opportunity to meet the Pastoral team and helpful for those still
deciding whether BBC is the right place for them to call their church
home. Lunch is complimentary; we only ask that you advise the office of
the number attending. You and your family are most welcome.
Pigeon-Hole Mail Box System / Directory
A great way to keep in touch and up to date with what’s happening at BBC (weekly newsletters and other notices.) You do not need to be a Member of BBC to have a pigeon-hole or be included in the BBC Directory.
Small groups
Here at BBC we realise
the importance of small groups. These allow a deeper level of
relationship and accountability. We have a variety of groups that meet
in various locations throughout the city. Please check out the groups on
the Small Group notice board in the foyer - feel free to visit a few
different groups to find the one you ‘best fit'.
Special Interest Groups
To enjoy the largeness of BBC… each of us must be active in it’s smallness!
Special Interest Groups allow people with the same passions and interests to meet together and have fun. These groups are great for making friends and are an amazing tool for evangelism, as they provide an opportunity for you to bring along your friends and neighbours to experience Christians hanging out together.
Here is our current list of groups:
- Card making / Scrap booking
- Cycling
- Floral Design
- Jewellery Making
- Motor biking
- Snowboarding
- Art & Painting
- Soccer
If you have any other ideas for starting up an interest group please contact Eunice Chivers on 576 2344.
