Words during worship for our 2024 Stewardship Campaign Several members have stood up during a worship service to tell us what Burke Presbyterian Church means to them.

“Nightingales” Bible Study Group
This lively and lovely group of ladies meets monthly on the third Thursday from 11:30am to 1:00pm.

For our curriculum this year, we have decided to read a chapter a month in Hope – A User’s Manual, a book written by former BPC Associate Pastor Rev. MaryAnn McKibben Dana.…

Nothing Better
“Nothing Better” is the first sermon in our October sermon series, The Path of Freedom.
