BCS was birthed when men and women from Baptist Churches across NSW and the ACT came together with the vision to practically express Christ’s love to people in need. Sixty seven years on from our foundation, BCS remains committed to serving our family of churches, strengthening relationships with individual congregations and establishing strategic ministry partnerships.
Every day across NSW and the ACT, BCS is touching lives for Christ and we invite your church to share in our exciting ministry.
This is at the heart of our new church partnerships strategy we’ve called BCS Connect.
The BCS Connect vision: “Connecting BCS with churches and churches with their communities”
