 I realise that coming into a church like WPC Bull Creek can be overwhelming. What is the church like? Will I find friends here? Will I find a place of service that fits my personality and gifts?
Since it can be tricky to become a part of a church, I thought I would make some practical suggestions that you could try that might just help you become involved at Bull Creek.
First of all, there is nothing like coming every Sunday , if you are able to. The best way to meet people and grow spiritually is to consistently hear God's Word taught and to enjoy morning tea afterwards.
Secondly, join a small group. We have Home groups and Bible Studies that meet all through the week. SOme are during the day and some are in the evenings. Meeting with people to pray, study the Bible and encourage each other can make a big difference in your life.
Thirdly, make an appointment with one of the pastors or one of the elders. We'd like to get to kow you personally. We value relationships and as we get to kow you and you get to kow us, we can be helpful to each other.
Fourthly, offer your talents and gifts. God has a place ready made for your gifts and abilities. As I write this, someone is outside trimming a tree. Others are inviting people to a special service. There is room for you to help in the kitchen, welcome people, assist people parking their cars on Sundays, teach Christian Education and the list goes on. God has a place for everyone.
Lastly, attend a Membership Class. The purpose of these classes is not to pressure people to join, but to give you a chance to learn more about God and His Word and His Church. If you decide to join WPCBC as a member, that is great too!

Carrying on from point four from our pastor Steve Schoof, we would like to introduce to you many ministries in the WPCBC you can be involved with. WPCBC has more than 27 ministries active in service. Many hands are required to keep our church running efficiently and alot of the tasks require not much more than a small time committment per week.
