Bradenton Christian Reformed Church - celebrating God's love, experiencing God's presence, proclaiming God's Word, honoring the Reformed confessions

Blended worship service is woven together by traditional and contemporary elements

Contemporary worship service is an offering to the Lord that uses elements that relate to today's post-modern culture

Evening worship service is a time when we can once again gather together as the Body of Christ and prepare for a new week

Together we envision a Christian community that offers up worship which glorifies God in every part, and welcomes guests and seekers into the joy of worshiping our loving and holy God. We do this by celebrating God's love, experiencing God's presence, proclaiming God's Word, honoring the Reformed confessions, calling people to life change and commitment, and equipping people to witness and serve in a way that reflects Jesus Christ.

Worship Schedule

8:30– Blended Worship
Our blended worship service is woven together by traditional and contemporary elements. Primarily led by organ and choir, this service is a place where people can praise our God with transitional hymns and modern songs. Because the Body of Christ is a diverse group of people, we believe that it is important to incorporate a colorful variety of styles, so that generations can come together to worship the Lord.

11:00 AM – Contemporary Worship
Our contemporary worship service is an offering to the Lord that uses elements that relate to today's post-modern culture. Led by a praise band and praise team, this service incorporates dramas, technology, and other creative elements to bring God's people into His presence. Sound, biblical sermons are the center of each worship service.

6:00 PM – Evening Worship
Our evening worship service is a time when we can once again gather together as the Body of Christ and prepare for a new week. Occasionally, this service is preceded by a mini-concert or hymn sing. This prepares us for worship as we gather to hear the Word of God and fellowship as a congregation. Small group opportunities are offered before and after this service. Please check the Education page for more details.

The choir is open to anyone who desires to serve the Lord by offering his/her time and vocal talent.

Our weekly rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 PM in the Choir Room. Please contact Steve Strite for more information.

PRAISE TEAM - The BCRC Praise Team is made up of men and women who have a heart for post-modern worship. The Praise Team leads God's people in praise during our 11:00 contemporary worship service. Singers and instrumentalists are encouraged to participate. We strive to offer high quality praise music that is holy and acceptable to our Lord and ministers to our post-modern culture. Rehearsals are held weekly in the Sanctuary. Please contact Joel Fisher for more information.

KEYBOARDISTS - BCRC is blessed to have an abundance of people with keyboard skills. Our organists and pianists lead our praise singing and provide music that brings our congregation into God's presence.

Please contact Steve Strite for more information.

TECHNOLOGY TEAM - The technology team includes our sound operators, projectionists, and lighting crew. Each week this group of volunteers creates an atmosphere of worship in our Sanctuary.
