Axiom College Ministry
Here at Bedford Community church, we strive to provide a ministry to our returning BCC graduates when they come home for school breaks during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer. Our desire is that each one will look forward to coming home each break because of the ministry that exists for them here. Every year we graduate 10-15 Seniors who have come through our youth group. One aspect of Axiom ministries is to continue their youth group experience throughout the college years.
We do this in a number of ways:
1) Provide small groups and a college Sunday morning class for them during school breaks. We also sponsor weekly Thursday "College Nights" which meet in various homes.
2) Offer either winter or early summer mission trip for them to participate in. These locations are usually in domestic cities or rural areas in the US, or to a country in Latin America.
3) Regular prayer and contact throughout the school year via emails, phone calls, and letters.
4) BBQ's and other yearly get-together's during school breaks.
We also have a ministry for college-age students throughout the school year from Sept-May. BCC has a close connection with Nyack College and we provide a ministry for them (and other local college students) as well. We want BCC to become a "home away from home" for local students. We also want to provide a place for fellowship and growth for college-age Christians whose church does not provide that for them.
To accomplish this we provide the following:
- Weekly worship services at 9:30 a.m.
- Weekly College Sunday school class at 11:00 a.m.
- Monthly luncheons with different host families
- Opportunities to serve in the Youth Ministry or Children's Ministry
- Provide internships for ministers-in-training
- Potential Sunday evening Gen X (youth adult) services
Our church's hope and prayer is to reach out and provide ministry to the following local colleges:
Pace University
Concordia College
Purchase College
Nyack College
Iona University
Mercy College
Westchester Community College
If you are a college student in the Rockland, Westchester, or Putnam counties and are looking for a church to call your home, then please come and check us out. Our goal is to be a place where you can make friends, grow and be challenged spiritually, have an opportunity to serve, and be a part of a healthy and growing church family.
Whether you are a Christian looking for a home or someone seeking answers and meaning, you are welcome and wanted here at Bedford Community Church and we would love for you to become involved in our Axiom ministry. |
