Our Mission: To know Christ and make Him known

Join us on Sundays at 9:30am & 11:00am

Calvary was not quiet. The sun stopped, the earth rocked, and the crowd mocked as the Son of God hung between heaven and earth. And then He spoke. It was through those words, in that selfless act, on that skull-shaped hill, that grace was poured out—not in drops, but in torrents. 

In those final words of Jesus, we find grace that speaks forgiveness before we even seek it, grace that welcomes the least likely into eternal life, grace that provides when all seems lost, and grace that bears the weight of our sin. This is grace that enters suffering, completing a plan set before the foundation of the world, and grace that restores, calling us back to the loving arms of our Father.

Jesus’ final words will prepare our hearts for the violence of the cross and the victory of the resurrection. They will remind us that grace is not just present in salvation—it is present in our sanctification, in our struggles, and in our surrender. This series is an opportunity to reflect, to receive, and to rest in the truth that God's grace is a Grace That… changes everything.

Mark your calendars for Vision Sunday on March 30th. This will be the Sunday to hear where we believe God is calling Bara in 2025. It's going to be an amazing Sunday!

  • “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.”

  • 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!”

  • 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.
