. . . Bridging The Divide

In brief, BCC exists to bridge the divide between Fundamentalism and the Seeker Sensitive movement that is so prevalent in many southern New Hampshire churches. Both veins of Christianity, as well-intentioned as they are, are susceptible to legalism or liberalism if not properly balanced by the rule of Scripture.

Our vision, therefore, is to avoid the extremes by placing a premium on the intellectual study and application of the Bible (historic orthodoxy) while also remaining culturally accessible (contemporary)—all for God's glory and for the edification of the church. It is at this crossroad where we bridge the traditions of yesterday with the avant-garde mindset of contemporary evangelicalism.

Our blend of traditionalism and modernity is comparable to “the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old" (Matthew 13:52). For example, we treasure the fundamentalist' appreciation for the King James Bible. Yet as non-denominational evangelicals we also prize modern Bible translations that accurately translate the original languages into more understandable English.

We maintain an enduring love for conventional worship hymns that aspire to teach the tenets of Christianity through melody and song. Yet equally appreciated is the praise and worship produced by contemporary artists.

As traditionalists, we acclaim the writings of the Patristic Fathers and the Protestant Reformers. Yet as students of our time we recognize the insight of contemporary evangelical thought.

	We are a church that advocates a high view of Scripture, fundamental (or orthodox) doctrine, a healthy respect for Church history, and an earnest desire to have an impact on our local community, and subsequently, our culture.

With our allegiance placed firmly in Christ, we celebrate the Five Solas of Reformation theology: Sola Gratia (Grace Alone); Sola Christo (Christ Alone); Sola Fide (Faith Alone); Sola Dei Gloria (God's Glory Alone); and Sola Scriptura (the Scriptures Alone).

We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings to experience our fellowship for yourself. Visitors are always welcome!

For our specific location, please contact the church office (here). Together we will draw near to God through "the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42).
