Our Mission: To know Christ and make Him known

Join us this Sunday at 9:30am and 11:00am


COMMUNITY

You Can't Follow Jesus Alone.

 We live in one of the loneliest moments in human history. And yet - the way of Jesus has never been a solo path.

 This July, we're spending four weeks in the Scriptures making the case that community isn't a church program or a personality preference. It's the design. From the beginning, God - who exists in the eternal community of Father, Son, and Spirit - created human beings to reflect that same shared life. When Jesus called his disciples, he didn't hand them a curriculum. He said, "Follow me" - and then he lived with them.

 Community is where formation actually happens. It's where we're seen, sharpened, and sent. It's where the one-another commands of Scripture become possible. And it's where we discover that following Jesus was never meant to be done alone.

Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for decades - this series is for you. Come expecting to be challenged, encouraged, and invited into something deeper than Sunday mornings.


The Parenting Tool Belt is a 3-hour workshop designed to help you gain those essential skills, so you can confidently handle challenges and build a home filled with growth, connection, and resilience.


Mark your calendars! We are kicking off the school year on August 16th with our annual

Back in The Saddle!

  • “Despite relocating after initially attending services in person, Bara continues to be a cherished part of my spiritual journey through its online platform. The warm embrace of the community, Pastor Joel’s impactful messages, and the numerous avenues for involvement and service have left a lasting impression. Bara not only fosters a sense of belonging but also facilitates meaningful connections that transcend physical boundaries. It’s a testament to the church’s dedication to spreading Christ’s love making everyone feel at home, regardless of their location.”

    -Emily Merrick

  • Bara is everything we have prayed for in a church. There is a real sense of connection there. Pastor Joel and Kim have been supportive of my past ministries and welcomed them to Bara. My husband is a part of the worship team and loves it. So there are many opportunities to get involved and serve. We love Bara and what they stand for!

    -Jennifer Todd

  • “Bara is a place that you feel seen and receive great Jesus teachings. They love the lord and their love is shown in actions. Bara Church is the real deal!”

    -Patricia Hornbaker

  • After my parent’s death we were sorting through items in their home and I pulled a bible study book off of a shelf. The following day I began reading it and after turning a few pages I saw that my Mother had written “Love 1 4 God” on top of a page. Loving one for God was a BARA Church theme from many years ago and my parents could only attend BARA the one time a year they would come and visit us. My Mother was so touched by the thought of Loving One Person For God that she felt compelled to write it in a study book. After I completed reading the book I decided that I needed to be back at BARA Church where a person can” Love 1 4 God” while also feeling God’s love through others.
