We at Big Trees Community Bible Church Welcome You
Hi, I’m Pastor Jeff. Glad you found our website.
Happy New Year, everyone! As we begin the new year, I’ll start a new series titled, “Prayers from a Prison Cell: Learning from the Prayers of Paul.”
I invite you to join us as we personally reflect on the prayer life of Paul the apostle, and examine the content of his prayers to learn from his example. We’ll focus especially on the prayers for the churches found in the Prison Epistles. There’s much to be learned from them. For detailed information and scheduling for my series, click here.
Big Trees Choir Presents “The Ballad of Bethlehem”
One of our Christmas traditions is our choir’s Christmas Cantata performance. This year, our choir presented the Christmas musical, “The Ballad of Bethlehem.” Click this link to hear our choir and musicians perform as they guide you through a breathtaking musical journey, retelling the timeless story of hope, peace, and love.
Note: Sorry. The opening narration of our cantata video is difficult to hear. Please be patient or skip ahead a few minutes to the spot where the choir begins to sing. ( ; - )
