Our Mission: To know Christ and make Him known

Fall Open House

Join Bara for our Fall Open House - where we open our doors to those in the community so they can learn more about who we! You can expect a little small-town hospitality, and the simple gift of a time and a place to slow down, see some familiar friends or meet some new ones, and enjoy FREE food, fun activities, and the joy of community—whether you come with family, friends, or on your own.

This is a great time to invite your neighbors, friends, and family!

Trick of Treat

Legalism is the great trick of religion: it promises life but delivers death, offering the appearance of holiness while binding people in guilt, pride, and despair. Grace is God’s ultimate treat: the unearned gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, which brings freedom, joy, and true transformation. In a world full of religious counterfeits and cultural pressures, we must learn to recognize the trick of legalism and live instead in the treat of grace.

“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!

“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.
