Our Mission: To know Christ and make Him known
Join us this Sunday at 9:30am and 11:00am
In this series, we’re going to slow down and relearn prayer the way Jesus practiced it — not as a religious duty, but as a way of life. We’ll talk about how prayer forms us over time, how it works in ordinary moments, and how the Holy Spirit meets us even when we don’t know what to say.
This isn’t a series about praying longer or harder.
It’s about learning how to have a real conversation with a God who really wants to be with us.
As we practice prayer together, we’re trusting that the Holy Spirit will slowly shape us — not all at once, but over time — into disciples of Jesus who live with greater peace, awareness, and intimacy with God.
And our hope is that we’ll discover that prayer is one of the purest and most powerful ways we apprentice ourselves to Jesus. — learning to live our lives with Him and allowing Him to beautifully form us into His image from the inside out.
Prayer isn’t about being better at religious language.
It’s about being with God.
For a lot of us, prayer either feels intimidating, awkward, or disappointing. We don’t know what to say, we’re not sure we’re doing it right, or we feel like nothing happens — so eventually we just stop.
But prayer was never meant to be complicated or impressive. Prayer is simply how we learn to be with Jesus.
“Formed” – A Volunteer Appreciation Evening
If you volunteer with Bara Church in any way, we want to celebrate you! On Sunday, March 1st, from 6–8pm, we’re hosting “Formed”—an evening where we’ll show our deep appreciation for all you do.
You can expect a relaxed night with good food, special gifts and a few surprises. It’s our turn to give back to you!
All volunteers are invited and free childcare is available, but please RSVP so we can plan for food and gifts.
Bara Church’s Vision Sunday
On Sunday, March 8, Bara Church will gather for a special Vision Sunday—a morning where we reflect on what God has done and look ahead to where we believe He is leading us next.
To ensure everyone can hear and experience the vision together, we’ll hold only one gathering that day at 10:00am.
During this gathering, we’ll celebrate highlights from the past year and share the direction that will shape our community moving forward. Our focus for the coming year centers around a simple but powerful idea: FOLLOW.
Bara believes following Jesus isn’t about trying harder—it’s about being formed over time through intentional practices, rhythms, and community. Vision Sunday will introduce how we’re creating space for people to grow in what it means to live like Jesus in everyday life.
Whether you’re new, exploring faith, or have been part of the Bara family for years, Vision Sunday is a great opportunity to:
Understand the heart and direction of our church
Hear where we’re headed and why it matters
Discover your place in the mission
We’d love for you to join us and be part of what’s ahead!
PS—Because this is a one-gathering Sunday, we encourage everyone to arrive a little earlier than usual.
Join us for our new Bible study:
Becoming a Woman of Influence - Making a Lasting Impact on Others By Carol Kent
This study is all about following, loving, leading, and serving like Jesus. As we learn what it truly means to follow Him well, we’ll discover how our obedience and faithfulness can impact others in lasting ways.
The study begins March 9th and runs for 9 weeks on Monday nights. Homework is minimal yet meaningful - designed to deepen your walk without overwhelming your schedule.
The book is no longer available through retailers, but we are able to order copies directly from the author. Please use the link below to place your order by March 1st. the cost is $15 and will cover the book and notebook
We are expectant and excited to see who God brings together as we gather to study His Word and follow Him more closely — together.
To follow Jesus is to be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did.
This year is an invitation to deeper discipleship, lasting transformation, and a joyful apprenticeship to Jesus—together.
