We invite all to join us for this season of hope and light as we celebrate the coming of the Christ child.
Advent Sermon Series
Journey with us as we reflect on the glorious promise of Christ’s return. In a season marked by anticipation and hope, we will explore the profound truths of His second coming, the fulfillment of His promises, and the hope they bring to our lives today. Together, let us prepare our hearts to celebrate not only His birth but also the ultimate redemption and restoration He will bring.
Missions Advent Offering
Our Missions Advent Offering this season will go towards supporting our twenty-one mission partner organizations to help spread the Good News around the world. With your support, we can continue to exemplify our core value of reaching outward, growing God’s Kingdom as we venture boldly to share the love of Christ with the world. Donations can be made by check with Missions Advent Offering in the memo line or through Realm. If giving through Realm, please use the drop down menu to select Advent Fund.

If you would like to purchase a poinsettia in honor or in memory of someone, please complete the order form by December 16 and place it in the offering plate or mail it to BSMC (200 Buncombe Street, Greenville, SC 29601). Order forms are located at the church office or in the lobby areas. A check for $25 per poinsettia must accompany your order or $25 cash.

We are excited to have Family Advent Night on December 8 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM, a time to gather with meaningful activities, laughter, and fellowship. Let’s focus on the gift of community and the love that binds us together in Christ during this special time.
