About BCC

BCC is a thriving church in Bromley, South-East London, with a passion to love God and love people.
We are made up of approximately 850 people, with ever-growing children’s, youth and young adult
ministries. We draw together over 45 different nationalities and have a strong heart for local and
international mission.

We believe that the mission of every church was given by Jesus, when he commissioned us to “go and
make disciples” and our heart is that as a church (that is all the people, partners, staff and volunteers
associated with us) we become disciples that reproduce disciples.

The church was started in 1928 and has been a strong and positive Christian influence within Bromley
and beyond ever since.

Critical to the health of our church are our core values, which we encourage, promote, and seek to live
out personally and corporately. Our DARING values are:

•  Determined devotion to God
•  Activating spiritual disciplines
•  Relentlessly loving people
•
Increasing generosity
•  Naturally innovative
•  Growing compassion

We want to help people find their way back to God and we want to be a church that brings God’s
Kingdom to earth in the way we love and serve our community, in particular the least and the lost. Our
governing documents cement these goals, stating that we exist:

•
•

•

To advance the Christian faith in the UK and worldwide
To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the
provision of funds, goods or service or any kind including counselling and support in the UK
and the worldwide
To advance education in the UK and worldwide

We are affiliated to the Assemblies of God (AOG) denomination, which has over 450,000 associated
churches worldwide.

BCC is situated very close to Bromley town centre, where there are a variety of opportunities to find
part-time paid jobs and we have very good local public transport links (railway station, buses) within
walking distance of the church. While not guaranteed, there may also be an opportunity to find
affordable accommodation through the church.

BCC is both a registered charity and a Limited company, and as such operates under the rules and
laws governing charities and companies within the UK.
