BEFC Membership Renewal
Here at BEFC, we strive to keep membership meaningful by asking everyone to reaffirm their commitment to the church every year!  Membership expires at the end of every calendar year but is reaffirmed when we each sign our Affirmation of Commitment and turn it in to the office. You may pick up a Membership Packet on the table in the hallway. Please take a few moments to read through it and prayerfully sign and return the Affirmation page. We are excited about God’s direction for our church in 2013 and about joyfully locking arms with you as we step into the New Year together!  - BEFC Pastoral Team

This is a once-a-year simulcast with Francis Chan and David Platt that fuels the purpose of Multiply, which is to encourage believers because some are unaware of their biblical responsibility to make disciples, and to equip believers because many do not know how to make disciples.
