Equipping all people to live ordinary life as the faithful presence of Jesus' love.
Advent
Please join us Sunday evenings at 5 at 585 Shades Crest Road in Bluff Park as we joyfully celebrate Advent, reflecting on the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Christ's coming.
Welcome
Bluff Park Community Church
Thank you for visiting! At Bluff Park, our passion is to help all people live out their daily lives as a faithful reflection of Jesus’ love. We’re committed to creating a welcoming, grace-filled space where everyone can experience the redeeming power of Jesus Christ and be empowered to reflect His love in every part of life. Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time or are growing in your faith, we invite you to join us in this shared mission of living out His love—every day, in every way.
Equip
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11–12, NLT)
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.
All People
“For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.” (1 Corinthians 9:19, ESV)
Mission and Values
We exist to equip all people to live ordinary life as the faithful presence of Jesus' love.
Equip
Equip defines our primary task as a church to prepare and empower individuals for Christian life and service. Equipping means providing the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to grow in faith, live out the gospel, and serve others. Through discipleship, teaching, and practical support, we aim to develop followers of Jesus who are fully equipped to live out their calling in every sphere of life.
All People
All people are our target audience. Our mission reaches beyond any boundaries of background, age, or spiritual maturity. We believe the gospel is for everyone—whether exploring faith for the first time, growing as a mature believer, or anywhere in between. Our goal is to invite all people into the transformative power of Jesus, offering grace, community, and discipleship to every individual, regardless of their starting point on the journey.
ordinary life
The context of our mission is the everyday, mundane aspects of life—not limited to church settings, special events, or programs. Our calling is to live out the gospel in the ordinary moments: at home, at work, in our communities, and our relationships. The transformative power of Christ's love is meant to be displayed in these seemingly small, routine places. By faithfully living in and as His presence in ordinary life, we bring the light of the gospel into the heart of everyday existence.
as the faithful presence
Faithful presence describes how we are called to live in the world—not by withdrawing from it or seeking to dominate, but by being fully engaged within it. This means embodying the character of Christ in every sphere of life—whether personal, social, or cultural—through acts of love, service, and integrity. Faithful presence is not about imposing change from the top down or retreating into isolation but rather contributing to the common good from within, living as agents of grace, truth, and justice. We are called to reflect Christ's posture toward the world—one of sacrificial love and humble service. Through this faithful presence, we become witnesses to God's redemptive work, influencing and transforming our surroundings by living out His kingdom in all aspects of life.
To Live
To "live" is the core action we are pursuing and promoting. Our focus is not merely on filling minds with knowledge, hands with busyness, or hearts with shallow sentimentality. Instead, we aim for lives transformed by the power of the Gospel of Jesus. This transformation goes beyond mere knowledge acquisition or emotional highs—it involves the active application of the gospel to every aspect of life. We aim to cultivate disciples shaped by the gospel in their thoughts, actions, and relationships, experiencing God's grace's deep, lasting work in everyday living. This is the heart of true, transformational discipleship.
Jesus' love
Jesus' love is the foundation of our mission, providing the motivation and the model for everything we do. His love compels us to live and serve in a way that reflects His sacrificial care for the world. It's the ultimate purpose—to embody and extend the transformative love of Christ to others. As we experience His love, we are called to share it, making His grace and mercy tangible in the lives of those around us. This is why we exist: to live as a reflection of Jesus' love in all we do.
To Live Ordinary Life
“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:46–47, ESV)
Chad
"This is a very warm and welcoming church. It has been a great fit for our family. The music is excellent, and the children's program is one that my kids enjoy as well as teaches them Biblical truth. The preaching is easy to follow and is very Gospel centered."
Zeina
"The people here are so nice. My kids love the youth group. This is more then just my church it's my family. We do life together and I couldn't do it without them."
Phillip
"We have made this community our home since we move to Bluff Park and they have been with us through many ups and downs. We love BPCC!"

Of Jesus' Love
“Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.” (2 Corinthians 5:14–15, NLT)

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6–7, NLT)
