Some key moments in our past which have formed us…
1973 - A group of college and graduate students comes to
Breckenridge for the summer to do an experiment in
intentional Christian community. They live together, share
meals, and participate in study seminars.
1974 - Several people from the previous summer move back to
Breckenridge to develop some of the ministry ideas they'd
dreamed up the summer before, again living in intentional
community, sharing housing and meals and doing Bible studies
together.
1976 - The Study House is in full swing. People come to live
at the Study House, spending half of their time working and
half their time studying their faith with the help of books,
tapes, and seminar speakers.
1980 - Land is donated, and after a year of hard work, the
BCM community completes construction on the current
building. Our weekly Sunday worship services begin.
1982 - Summit County Youth (SCY) is started as a way of
reaching out to students and their families. The local youth
have always been highly important to us!
1988 - One Sunday morning only eight people show up for
worship. Pulling their chairs into a circle, they cry, then
laugh, then cry as they anxiously consider the future of
BCM.
1991 - Kairos is started in order to reach out to the large
20's population in the area. Weekly discussions / studies
and a variety of group activities create a place for young
adults to belong and grow.
Today - Our community continues to thrive as we pursue
relationships with Christ and with each other. Activities
such as community dinners, our annual Fall Retreat, Bible
studies, bike rides, and skiing provide the context for
these relationships to keep growing!
