I would like to welcome you to the Bark River Bible Church Web site, and in the following paragraphs I would like to take a few minutes of your time to give you a picture of what we are about.
The Bark River Bible Church is located on the edge of the small community of Bark River, Michigan. Our average Sunday morning attendance is approximately 200. People come to our church from the surrounding communities of Escanaba, Powers, Spalding, Gladstone and Wilson. We are a group of Christians who take a conservative approach to the Bible and our Christian faith. Our doctrine can be found at the IFCA International site. While at their home page you will find information on what we believe and you can have such questions answered such as, "What is IFCA International?," "What is a Bible Church?," "Our Doctrine," as well as "Our Vision and Goals." If you have any further questions, you can e-mail me directly.
As to the mission of the Bark River Bible Church, we exist to proclaim Christ, both here in our community and throughout the world. We have an active Youth Group and strive to reach children in the surrounding communities for Christ through Vacation Bible Schools and AWANA . We also support a variety of missionaries in the United States and abroad in such countries as Africa, Ukraine, Pakistan, and Greece. We currently are supporting a church outside of Pervomaysk, Ukraine, through assisting a Ukrainian church planter and his family in this endeavor. We take place in Operation Christmas Child and Immanuel's Child; Christmas time outreaches to children in other countries who need to hear the gospel. Also we provide the chaplain for the local jail, who ministers there weekly.
We also exist to strengthen the family unit. We do this through worship services geared to minister to the needs of those in attendance. Our Sunday School and Junior Church programs are also geared to the ages of the children involved.
Our church sees as well the Scriptural admonition to disciple believers in the faith, thus we have an active discipleship program. We use the Navigators 2:7 material which is both challenging and a catalyst for spiritual growth.
This is a sketch of what the Bark River Bible Church is, but more importantly the Bark River Bible Church is people, and this is really who we are and what we are all about! If I can be of any further assistance, please drop me a note via e-mail.
In Christ,
Pastor Brad Cochrane
