BCS Annual Report 2012
OUR MEMBERS
Our Members Since 1944, BCS has been committed to partnership with Baptist churches and their members. While the vision originally centred on personal evangelistic goals, BCS has become the catalyst to bring people together to pursue a shared vision of developing a caring ministry for people in need throughout the Baptist community.
