The purpose of this website is to inform you of who we are and what we do.  Please take time to find out about Belconnen Baptist Church (BBC).  I believe that BBC is a healthy church that caters for the needs of many.

Growth Groups

Hi, I’ m Jenny McQuiggin, Associate Pastor for Integration.  Growth Groups are a major component in the life of Belconnen Baptist Church.  This page helps to explain a bit about our Growth Groups.

What is a Growth Group?

A small gathering of people, usually 8-10 participants, who meet regularly to encourage one another spiritually and to reach out to others who do not yet know God.

Why do we need Growth Groups?

Often it is difficult to get involved in a church, especially when the congregation is a large one.  One way to develop meaningful relationships with other people is by joining one of our Growth Groups which are an integral part of our life together at Belconnen Baptist.  The Growth Group is a caring environment in which you will experience God, along with others in the group, and discover opportunities for service.

What do you gain from being in a Growth Group?

Through Growth Groups people are able to:

• Connect with God “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.” (Luke 10.27a GNB)
• Connect with each other “Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Luke 10.27b)
• Connect with the world ” Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them… and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matt 28. 19-20 NIV)

When do Growth Groups meet?

Groups meet on a regular basis, either weekly or fortnightly, on various nights of the week and there are also a few daytime groups.  Growth Group members often spend time together in social activities, or doing something practical to meet a specific need in the community.

Where do Growth Groups meet?

Most of our groups meet in people’s homes.

Can someone pray with me?

Hi, I’m Paul Noble, Pastor for Care Ministries.

Life is a journey; it has its highs and lows.  When the storm clouds of life are around it’s nice to know that there are people who can pray for you in your time of need.  Whether it is a death in the family,  the breakup of a relationship, or a sense of loneliness, we’re here to help you and pray to God on your behalf.  God never intended that you do this alone.

Weekdays: If you need prayer, call into the church office between 9am and 5pm  weekdays and one of our pastors or pastoral carers will be there to assist you, or phone 6254 6565.

Weekends: At the conclusion of our church services, we have people at the front of the auditorium waiting to help you and pray with you, just make your way to the front of the auditorium.

After hours: Call our switchboard (02 6254 6565) and you will be directed to a pastor who is on-call.

On-line: Use our Online prayer request form below to submit a prayer request today.
