What's On

For a number of years now, the people of BCLC Church have been serving our community by providing a food locker.

During lockdown, we have re-doubled our efforts and made fortnightly deliveries of food parcels to those in need.

If you would like help with food, email us at familiesteam@mybclc.org or click – here.

The Centre is currently closed due to coronavirus restrictions. Please watch this page for further details or catch updates on the BCLC Kids Facebook page

FREE SCHOOL UNIFORMS:

Do you need uniform for any of the following schools?

Once COVID is over, we’d love you to come along to one of our school holiday brunch clubs which usually run between 10.30 & 12.30 – you can browse our uniform collection and help yourself to what you need.

Life groups are small groups of people who meet in homes around the Bridgend area – they are very informal, focus on relationship and are the heart of BCLC Church life. They are an ideal opportunity to connect with others, build meaningful friendships and grow spiritually.

We currently have 3 active groups:

Gail Thomas – Cefn Cribwr

Gail has served BCLC for over 60 years, as her father did before her. She and her late husband, Mal, led the vision that resulted in the building of our current facility – a great resource for the church and community.

Gail continues to serve tirelessly as a life group leader and church treasurer, as well as being the pastoral ‘heart’ of the church.

Debbie and Glyn Udraufski – Bridgend (Litchard)

Both extremely down to earth people, Debbie and Glyn are a hardworking committed family unit, who are fun loving and care deeply about your personal journey.
As as a working professional, Debbie is used to dealing with people, is a team player, and has a real interest in seeing everyone become their best self.
Glyn is an avid Liverpool supporter and has played an active part in our men’s fellowship. Both Debbie and Glyn will be happy to welcome you.

Mark and Lorraine Heydon – Porthcawl

Mark & Lorraine have served in the church in everything from leadership to the trustees’ board, from our cafe to the choir. Both keen cyclists, they have completed Velathon Wales, are extremely generous and are passionate about loving God and Loving People. They will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Coronavirus Update No.4 – 7th July 2021.

Following the latest announcements by the First Minister and the Prime Minister and the guidance provided by the Chief Medical & Scientific Officer’s,

BCLC remains closed (including Sunday meetings) until further notice.

BCLC Church is still operating online, with regular meetings via Facebook, Zoom and other digital platforms. We hope to re-open Sunday meetings from September 2021; dates to be confirmed.

We are continuing to serve the community through our Food Locker and the Uniform Swap Shop. If you would like help with either of these, or would like to volunteer to help in this work, please email us at familiesteam@myBCLC.org

We wish you all well in this difficult time and pray God’s richest blessing on you and your family.

With love, the members & leadership of BCLC Church, Cefn Cribwr.

The Gym has now been closed down permanently & the equipment removed.

THANKS to everyone who used the gym; as a church, we were unable to continue to staff and service it going forward, so took the decision to close it permanently. We hope our regular users are able to find an alternative soon.

Wishing you well!

Cheers, BCLC Church Leadership Team
