Bluff Park Community Church
Welcome
Bluff Park Community Church
Thanks for visiting! At Bluff Park Community Church, our mission is simple: Discover God's Love and Share it with Others. We desire to be a place where anyone can discover the redeeming, rescuing, and restoring Love of God in Christ Jesus and where no one seeking the Lord has anything to fear.
By this the Love of God is revealed to us:
"...that God has sent his one and only Son into the world so that we may live through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1 John 4:9-10)
About Us
At our core, we treasure the gospel of Jesus. Through His gospel, we discover God's profound love for seriously flawed people, which is all of us! The gospel of Jesus is the beacon of hope for those who are bad or broken because it is the power of God for rescue, redemption, and restoration. Our goal is to foster a community that isn't just informed about the gospel but profoundly transformed by it.
Every week, we come together for worship at 5 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at 2269 Chapel Road in the heart of Bluff Park.
Who Are We
Bluff Park Community Church was founded in 2013 by a partnership between Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church (PCA) and Acts29. We are a family of disciple-making disciples grounded in theology, centered on the gospel, and standing in the tradition of historic evangelical confessionalism.
What To Expect
Come as you are because we will! Our gatherings have a warm and inclusive atmosphere where everyone is welcome. During a typical service, you will experience meaningful worship through music and a message rooted in biblical teachings. Additionally, we celebrate communion on a weekly basis.
What About Kids?
Our services cater to children from kindergarten to fifth grade, providing them with a dedicated teaching time and nursery facilities. Additionally, middle school and high school students can take advantage of unique teaching and fellowship opportunities that are available during and after most evening services.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Discovering God's Love and Sharing It With Others
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” ~ Tim Keller, The Meaning of Marriage
VISION AND VALUES
Gospel + Safety + Time
Gospel
At Bluff Park Community Church, our foundation is the timeless message of the Gospel – the good news of redemption, rescue, and restoration through the finished work of Christ on the cross and the boundless power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel is the good news of God's grace for the undeserving; for seriously flawed people (which is all of us). It is the message of God's redeeming love and boundless grace towards us in Jesus. God, through the perfect life, atoning death, and bodily resurrection of Jesus, rescues all his people from the wrath of God into peace with God, with a promise of the complete restoration of his created order forever – all to the praise of the glory of his grace. Here, you'll encounter and experience the Gospel through repeated exposure, continuous immersion, and unceasing waves of grace and truth as found in the Bible.
Safety
At Bluff Park Community Church, we believe that the gospel's grace creates a unique identity and community of humility and confidence. It's a humbling realization that all of us were once so broken and lost that Jesus had to sacrifice himself for our sake. However, His love and willingness to do so gives us assurance and confidence. Our aim is to be a community where individuals can find solace and security through the grace of the gospel. We strive to maintain a non-accusing environment where there is no room for embarrassment, cornering, or shaming. Instead, we offer respect, sympathy, listening, and understanding. Anyone seeking the Lord at our church will find a safe and welcoming environment where they have nothing to fear.
Time:
We believe the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes! (Romans 1:16). God's grace does not come in response to a changed life but a changed life comes in response to His salvation offered as a free gift. We acknowledge that spiritual growth is a gradual process that takes time. That is why we strive to create a pressure-free environment, where there are no set deadlines for personal growth. While there may be a sense of urgency, we do not rush anyone. Our community provides ample space for even the most complex souls to reflect and reconsider their lives. Just as God is patient with us, we extend the same patience to all who seek spiritual growth in our community.
And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. (1 John 3:23)
