Our Mission: To know Christ and make Him known

Join us this Sunday at 9:30am and 11:00am



In a world engineered for constant noise, distraction, and performance, the ancient practice of solitude feels almost countercultural - and that's precisely why Jesus practiced it. This series, Solitude, is an invitation to recover one of the most formative and neglected disciplines of the Christian life. Grounded in Scripture, shaped by the early church fathers, and guided by voices like Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, and John Mark Comer, we'll explore solitude not as escape, but as the sacred space where we are most fully seen, most deeply formed, and most powerfully renewed. Week by week, we'll trace the pattern Jesus modeled, wrestle honestly with why silence unsettles us, discover the promise that God meets us in the quiet, and recover the purpose that drives us back into the world - not as emptied people, but as filled ones. Solitude isn't where life stops. It's where it starts.

To follow Jesus is to be with Himbecome like Him, and do what He did.

This year is an invitation to deeper discipleship, lasting transformation, and a joyful apprenticeship to Jesus—together.

  • “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.
