simple church-- is it for you?

If you can answer "yes" to any of the following, then you are on the right track: Are you tired of doing life alone? Do you want to simplify your life? Do you want to re-prioritize your life? Would you like to grow spiritually? Would you like to help make a positive difference in someone else's life? So is this for you? You decide. If yes, then come be a part of BGSC!  We'd love to have you worship with us, come along to serve our community, or even just swing by and eat with us on a Saturday afternoon!
