Education

There are multiple weekday small group Bible studies. New participants are always encouraged to join at any time. Some studies run for a specific length of time and others are on-going.

Precommunion packets are available at the Connect Desk outside the Worship Center.  These packets give an overview of our First Communion process and will help you navigate the content as a family. 

Questions? Email or call Nathan Ballard.  We are here to help you!

BLC's mission to connect people to life in
Jesus is deeply rooted in our belief that faith
nurturing takes place primarily in the home
but also extends to church and school. In
order to support that belief it is essential to
not only equip parents to teach faith in the
home but provide assistance to parents who
want to send their children to a LCMS
Lutheran day school or homeschool. We
value our relationships with our local LCMS
schools to support Christian education.

Lutheran School Partnership Application & Covenant

Connecting People to Life in Jesus through Home Groups 

Through Home Groups you are invited to share the love, truth, and hope that come to all through faith in Jesus Christ. Home Groups exist to nurture that relationship with Jesus Christ and to help grow His disciples. Growing in a caring Home Group community setting with Christ at the center can be transforming!

There are three areas of emphasis for each Home Group:

• Connecting with Family— Home groups are where Christ centered love and care for one another happens.  These are friends that you can grow, laugh and serve with.
• Connecting with God—Through reading and discussing the Bible, the group grows in discipleship, growing as Jesus’ disciples in everyday life. – Through prayer and worship the group connects with God and expresses care for one another.
• Connecting with Community—Home groups are encouraged to be purposeful in outreach by serving the physical, emotional, or spiritual needs of others. Service projects can be done by the group together or by individuals in their normal everyday life situations.

If you would like to get connected with a Home Group please contact Pastor Eric or Tony Cizel. 

Sports Ministries provide a great opportunity for developing relationships with a variety of individuals. We welcome guests from the community as well as members to participate.

Fostering Growth in Parenting and Wholeness as Women

Mom's Connection is a Biblically-based parenting program designed around the Titus 2:4 concept of older women teaching and encouraging younger women in their relationships with their husbands and children.

If you are a mom with children from infancy through adolescence, please join us. Our mission is to:

“… educate, encourage and equip women for the most important job in all the world – parenting."

Through practical, teaching on parenting from our core curriculum and guest speakers, as well as through small group interaction guided by “Titus 2” women after the Titus 2:4 Biblical model, we foster growth not only in our parenting skills but in our wholeness as women - intellectuallyrelationally and spiritually.

Mom's Connection is “seeker friendly,” progressing from universally held “felt needs” of moms to gradually deepening spiritual foundations. The program is designed to allow entrance into it at any part of the series, so new members are always invited.
