Ministries
Children's Ministry
Children from Nursery to 5th grade are invited to join us on Sunday mornings at 9:30 for “Summit Kids” Sunday School. Our vision is to “Partner with Parents as we Connect Kids to God and to Others!” Our goal is to provide a fun and interactive program tailored just for kids, no matter what age and grade, to help them know Jesus and grow spiritually as they build meaningful relationships with other children and adults! More information for First-Time Sunday Visitors.

Growth Groups
Growth Groups at Bergen Park Church are focused on Christ-centered, Bible-focused transformational growth in community.
The Christian life is not something we can live on our own. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we think it’s important to travel the road with others. Whether you are new to the faith or have been a long-time follower of Jesus, our vision is that you will connect with others, learn from the Bible, and serve alongside each other for the good of the community.
Bergen Park Church offers a number of different Growth Group options to encourage you on your spiritual journey. Most of our Growth Groups consist of 8-12 members and meet weekly or bi-weekly. Some of our Growth Groups meet in homes, while others at the church building or various locations around our community.
Although the makeup and atmosphere of the groups will vary, there are common elements we emphasize:
- The study of Scripture
- Prayer
- Mutual encouragement in faith
- The development of trusting and supportive relationships.
To get involved, email Pastor Jonah Haddad.
Men's Ministry
The role of our Men’s Ministry at Bergen Park Church is to serve as a complementary ministry of the church—an opportunity for our men of all ages and stages of faith to become more effective leaders, fathers, husbands, friends, and servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. Within this structure, we attempt to balance fellowship, teaching, service, and outdoor activities—and of course, these are always complemented by a substantial meal!
Our Men’s Ministry offers various activities and events centered around connection and relationship building. Some examples include:
- Connection Groups – Weekly meet-ups on Tuesdays at 6:30PM at the Timbervale Barn and Wednesdays at 6:30AM at Bergen Park Church.
- Bible Study – Weekly Bible study opportunity on Fridays at 7:30AM with Pastor Jonah
- Periodic Events – Dad and Kids’ Fall Fishing Day, Quarterly Men’s Breakfast with service opportunity, Ski Days, etc.
Email Dan Swenson for more information or to get involved.
Prayer Teams
At BPC our heart is to see lives changed, healings and miracles through partnering with God and the power of prayer. The Prayer Team Ministry prays for individual needs in person and when submitted through Prayer Request Cards.
Too often prayer is a pillar of the church that is talked about but not practiced. We believe firmly in the power of prayer and pray to see God move in the lives of people at BPC.
At the most basic level, prayer is a conversation with God. As a prayer team, we are moving from a one-way conversation to listening and hearing the voice of God in prayer. In this pattern, we desire to achieve a deeper relationship in our personal walk with God.
Contact Claudia Downey for more information or prayer.
Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study
Consider joining us on Sunday mornings for our Adult Bible Study. Our approach is to lead a group discussion-based study, highlighting ‘life application lessons’ as we review chapter by chapter the books of the Old and New Testaments. Recent studies include the Gospel of Luke, Acts, 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Daniel, and Proverbs.
- Meeting Time: 8:00 – 9:00 AM Sunday Mornings

Women’s Ministry
Women’s Ministry at Bergen Park Church is a community of women who would like to connect with others for social gatherings, spiritual growth, and outreach opportunities.
Our heart is for every woman at Bergen Park Church to feel connected and a part of what God is doing here.
True spiritual growth happens when we dig into the Bible ourselves on a personal level. Women’s Ministry Bible Studies at Bergen Park Church are a safe place to learn, discuss, and process biblical teaching in the company of other women who are journeying in their faith.
Activities Include:
- Fall and spring Bible study sessions
- Consistent small groups where you can get to know other women and pray for each other’s needs
- Spring Intentional-i-tea – A ladies’ teatime to intentionally meet new women and to encourage mentoring connections.
- Summer off-site, “book-club style” Bible study groups with various themes/activities such as hiking, pickleball, biking, coffee and scones, sweets on the patio, local restaurants, etc.
- Annual A Night Before Christmas event, on the first Thursday of December, includes a speaker, food, and music to focus us on the real reason for the Christmas season, before the season’s busyness sets in.
If you would like to get involved in any way: attend, help lead a small group or social activity, or just have questions, please contact Beth Lepard.
Youth and Family
The Bergen Park student ministry exists to see teenagers and their families know Christ and together become passionate followers of Him. We hope to provide safe and welcoming environments in which teenagers feel valued, are encouraged, and can grow in their own relationships with the Lord. At the same time, we want to partner with their parents and provide them resources and opportunities to grow closer as a family in the Lord. Click here to learn more.
Our main student ministry gathering is called “Elevate” and meets on Sunday evenings from 6:00-8:00PM. Led by our team of adult volunteers, Elevate includes games, a Bible-based message, small groups, worship music, and snacks. Elevate is for all 6th-12th graders who want to learn about following Jesus.
In addition to Elevate, we also do fun outings, service projects, retreats, and short-term missions trips!
Contact Wendy Somers for more information, or to get involved! We’d love to meet you!
