Hey,

Thanks for taking the time to visit the e.home of Bethel City Church.

This Sunday we broke the 500 mark for the first time. I was blown away. This church is moving and growing at such an incredible rate. It is such a privilege to be apart of it. I write this e.muse with a gob-smacked expression - 2 years ago we believed, today we stand in awe because we see.

The petrifying thing is that there is a real understanding that we have only just got going!!! 

The level of maturity in BCC is something that I really praise God for. Much of church life labours with insignificant and petty issues in comparison with the Great Commission. When I look out at the hundreds of awesome people that make up BCC, I realise that there is a gathering of champions, gladiators and city transformers.

If you have moved to the city, or recently discovered Jesus or even looking to move church, then this I know – BCC is a great church that will love you for who you are and inspire you to become all that you can be!

We are not a convalescence pool that will patronise you by devaluing your potential. We are a house that champions all-stars and builds people for significance!

If you believe that you have been put on planet earth for "such a time as this" then check out BCC; browse our e.home, visit one of our congregations or even email any questions you have. I assure you that you will be surprised how good it is here!

I have met so many people who put up with church that is as boring as chewing on your grandmothers socks and as vibrant as a brick.

Yet the thousands of people who use our campuses across the city, attend our congregations or who are a part of the BCC community continually comment about the passion, energy, excellence and vibrancy that resides.

Thousands of people wanted to be around Jesus. I believe they do today! Who ever said it couldn't happen in Stoke?

See you Sunday.

James
