Welcome to BCC. We're glad you're here.

Bethlehem Community Church is a Bible-believing, non-denominational church in Delmar, NY. We take our faith seriously, teach the Bible faithfully, and welcome you exactly as you are.

Welcoming you

You'll hear us say that with a handshake and a smile the moment you walk through the door. Whether you're new to church, coming back after some time away, or just looking for a place to call home, we want to know. We won't let you wander around wondering where to go. From the front door to your seat, someone will walk with you, hand you an order of worship, point you to the coffee, and make sure you and your family are settled and comfortable.

When we gather

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 AM with prayer, praise, and the Word of God. Communion is shared monthly. The music is contemporary with both hymns and new songs. Bible study meets from 8:45 to 9:45 AM with classes for every age.

Where to Find Us

201 Elm Ave, Delmar, NY 12054. The main parking lot is around the back of the building. Two entrances bring you in from the main road.
Directions

What Sunday feels like

Come dressed as you are. There is no dress code here. Expect a warm room full of people who are genuinely glad you showed up. The focus is scripture, prayer, worship, and teaching from the Word of God.

Families worship together. You'll sing, pray, and hear the Bible taught in a way that's grounded and practical. If someone near you sticks out their hand and introduces themselves, that's not a program. It's just how this church works.

Your kids are in good hands

When you arrive, a greeter will meet your family and walk you to the welcome desk, where your children can be registered for their age group. Little ones get a check-in sticker so everyone knows exactly who belongs to whom. If you'd like a tour of the children's area first, just ask.
Families worship together at 10:00 AM. After opening worship, children are dismissed to their own Christ-centered teaching led by trained, background-checked leaders. Register before you visit so everything is ready when you arrive.

Your first visit, step by step

At the Door

A friendly face meets you in the courtyard before you're even inside. Our greeters will welcome you, ask your name, and hand you off to someone at the welcome desk who will get you settled.

The Connect Team

Look for the name tags. These are your personal concierges for the morning. They'll help you find a seat, point you to the coffee, and answer anything you're wondering about.

Safe and Secure

A security team is present every Sunday. You may not notice them because they look like everyone else, but they're there to make sure your family is safe.

Something for everyone in your family

Everything here is designed to help your whole family grow in faith, at church and at home. Here's a glimpse of what's waiting for you.

Children

Every gathering has a place for your kids, from Sunday morning classes to KPNO, family game nights, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.

Youth (6th–12th Grade)

You're at the age where faith becomes your own. Sunday Bible study, every-other-Thursday fellowship, mission trips, and serving opportunities are all built for you.

Adults

Small groups, Bible studies, and gatherings throughout the week give you a place to grow deeper in the Word and closer to the people around you.

What comes after your first Sunday

Flags for Geoff before publish:
  •  Who receives Plan Your Visit form submissions? Geoff, Diane, or someone else?
  •  Who receives the Guest Follow-Up form? Same person or different?
  •  Children's registration form URL — does this exist in Subsplash yet, or does it need to be built?
  •  Parents guide — Geoff confirmed this is print-only. Should a digital version be created and linked from this page?
  •  Parking map — Geoff mentioned he could "draw it out." Has this been created? A simple image or embedded map would strengthen the FAQ.
  •  Connection card — paper or digital? If digital, where does it live?
  •  Newcomers luncheon — Geoff described this as quarterly and inconsistent. Should it appear on this page, or is Burgers and Bibles the primary post-visit funnel?
  •  Linda — Mike named her as the welcome desk person. Do we name her on the site, or keep it role-based? (I kept it role-based since staff can change.)
  •  Visitor parking — Mike said they could "easily set up four spots" but don't currently have designated guest parking. If they add it, this page should mention it.
