BDC Offering
From Oct 3-Oct 10 we will take up an offering for the BDC (Building a Discipling Culture) ministry. Over the last 18 months we have had 16 people at Coro engage in intentional fortnightly discipleship coaching through BDC, learning the words, the ways and works of Jesus. This is called discipleship and part of the mission of God through the church is to train everyone to do the same. We are coached for free by Tim Piesse from Crossway Baptist in Melbourne; however part of our response to their generosity is an annual love offering for BDC so that other churches may learn to follow Jesus' way of disciple making through BDC. You can give via an envelope near the front doors or online at corouniting.org/give and select BDC in the "cause" options in the dropdown menu.
Click here to watch a video about how the BDC program is having an impact.
