Believers
Christian Fellowship Church is a church whose mission is to
witness to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a
ministry ushered in by the Holy Spirit in March of 2005, as some
seventy-nine persons decided to follow and embrace the vision
that was given by God to Rev. Dr. William E. Harris, Jr., who
was then Pastor of Zion Baptist Church.
After sharing the
vision, we established and organized Believers Christian
Fellowship Church and decided that we would meet again for
prayer, further clarification and direction from the Lord. The
body decided that we should begin services soon after April 10.
2005, which was to be my last day as Pastor of Zion Baptist
Church. Therefore, the church decided that the first official
worship service would be on Mother's Day Sunday, May 8, 2005.
The community of
faith has blessed BCFC and we were able to secure the Richard
Allen Academy as a worship site. We met there on several
occasions for prayer and Bible study before our first official
worship service. During this time, official documents were filed
with the State of Ohio. Officers were appointed and we were off
and running.
The objectives and
goals of BCFC are to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ through
preaching and teaching. Seek to evangelize the unchurched, build
up and strengthen the body of Christ, enlist persons in various
ministries of caring and sharing the love of Christ, and
fellowship with one another and those in the community and
beyond.
Our name indicates
that we Believers in Jesus Christ. This church believes God and
trusts that all things are possible if you believe. We also seek
to be an example of a church who exemplifies the love and
compassion of Jesus Christ.
Presently we now
worship at:
Belle Haven Elementary School 4401 Free Pike Dayton, Ohio
45416
Services are
Tuesday and Sunday. On Tuesday evening at 6:00 pm we have Bible
Study and a Prayer Meeting and on Sunday's we have Sunday School
at 9:00 am and Morning Worship at 10:00 am. We have many
ministries and opportunities to get involved and we welcome all
persons who seek to know the Lord and desire to be a part of a
loving and friendly Christian family. We seek to minister to the
entire family, children, youth and adults.
BCFC is a church
who's sole source of faith rests in the Holy Bible. We believe
in One God, who reveals himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of
humanity, sent from God to Earth to save us from our sins and
secure our right to eternal life to anyone who believes that
Jesus is Lord and Savior. We believe that each person must
confess Jesus as His Savior and subsequently be baptized into
Christ. We believe that God birthed the church as the visible
presence of his body in the world and expects us to be a
disciple of His church. We believe that God endows all believers
with gifts and that those gifts are to be used in love to edify
and glorify God, not self. We believe that one day Jesus is
coming again to judge the living and the dead and to receive
those that love him and to usher in the New Kingdom of God,
where there will be no more death, violence, sickness or pain.
