Your Journey Starts Here

Part 1: Our Story & Your Connection

Who is Jesus, and who are we as Bethlehm Baptist Church? In this opening session, we’ll look at the foundations of our faith and what it truly looks like to follow Jesus today. You’ll also get a "behind-the-scenes" look at our church’s heart and learn the simplest ways to find your people and build lasting relationships within our family.

Part 2: Your Unique Design & Reach

Ever wonder where you fit in the bigger picture? In this final session, we’ll help you explore how God has uniquely shaped you to make a difference. We’ll look at how your specific personality and talents contribute to our church family and give you practical ways to start sharing God’s love with the people in your daily life.

Thinking About Making It Official?

While you explore these sessions, you might feel a nudge to call Bethlehem Baptist Church your official home. We’d love that! Membership is simply our way of "linking arms" to support one another. You can dive into the details of what membership looks like below, or simply let us know you're interested once you finish your sessions.

Understanding Your BBC Profile

Think of your BBC Profile as your personal connection hub. It’s what you’ll use to sign up for upcoming events, manage your giving, or reach out to our team. If you’ve registered for an event or given online in the past year, you’re likely already set up!

If you’re new, simply select “Create Account” on the login screen when you start a session. You only need to do this once, and it allows us to save your progress so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Common Questions

Is this only for new people?

Not at all. Whether you’ve been here for a week or several years, this experience is for anyone looking to deepen their connection with the [Church Name] family. It’s also the essential first step for any adult interested in becoming a member.

When can I jump in?

We offer two distinct sessions that you can complete in person, online, or a mix of both.

• Part 1: Held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.
• Part 2: Held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays.
• (Note: We do not hold in-person sessions on the 5th Sunday of the month or during December, when the course is available online only.)

What should I expect at an in-person session?

It’s a relaxed, conversational environment. You’ll sit at a table with friendly hosts, enjoy some light snacks and coffee, and watch a few short videos from our leadership. Your hosts will lead a brief discussion at your table—no pressure, just good conversation.

What topics do we cover?

• Part 1 (Foundations): Our history, our core beliefs, and how to find your community.
• Part 2 (Purpose): A look at your unique spiritual gifts and how you can make an impact in God's kingdom.

What if I miss a week?

No problem. Our sessions don’t have to be completed in a specific order. You can attend Part 2 before Part 1, or finish one in person and the other online. We designed it to fit your schedule.

I’m already involved—do I still need to go?

Yes! This course ensures that everyone in our family is moving in the same direction with a shared understanding of our mission. Completing these sessions is a requirement for membership and for many of our leadership and serving roles.

Do I need to sign up in advance?

While an RSVP helps us prepare the snacks, it’s definitely not required. Feel free to just show up!

Is childcare provided?

Since this course is designed for adults, we encourage you to check your children (up to 5th grade) into [Church Kids Ministry]. This allows you to attend your service and the session while they have a great time in their own environment.

Where do I go?

In-person sessions meet in [Specific Room/Office Location]. Simply head to the [Information Desk/Atrium] and one of our volunteers will be happy to point you the way.
