Welcome to BCC

Welcome to Birtley Community Church

We  are a friendly Family Church with a love for Jesus, which we  love to share with the community around us.

Sunday Meetings 10:30 am-12 noon
We have very active children’s activities and a creche for under 5’s is available. Light refreshments follow the meeting.

Royal Rangers, Saturday 2:00-3:30 pm
This is a scouting type activity for 5-17 year olds. Each year a 3-4 day camp camp with overnight sleeping is included.

Many other groups meet for prayer, praise, bible study and much more throughout the week. We have smaller discipleship groups, a ladies fellowship group/choir and regular ladies breakfasts.

Our Sunday morning worship meetings are informal in style and are open to all. Starting at 10:30 am, they have lively worship music, culturally relevant Bible teaching, and prayer. Our young people have their own Sunday School meeting and there is also a creche. The meetings finish at 12am when there is opportunity to relax and catch up with friends over tea and coffee. Once a month we all have a full lunch together after the meeting.

At 2pm on Saturday afternoons, our Royal Rangers (5-17 years old) meet. This is an action filled activity that involves fun and games, bible teaching, learning about the world around us, campfire cooking and an annual camp.

Every other Wednesday, we hold a ladies fellowship group which gives friendship and support. It includes day trips away and also there is an optional choir that sings together after the meeting
