Bear Creek Friends Church

About this church

Bear Creek Friends Church sits in rural Randolph County, Indiana, with a Winchester address, between Winchester, Farmland, and Ridgeville. The congregation gathers for worship every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Services usually combine hymns and choruses with a period of open worship, when attendees may share testimonies or concerns. After a time of prayer, the pastor gives a sermon. Sunday School meets at 9:30 a.m. before worship, and an evening Bible study is listed at 6:00 p.m. The church is affiliated with Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, a group of evangelical Quaker churches, and was organized more than 150 years ago.

Children's programming runs during worship for elementary-age and younger kids. Sunday School offers classes for all ages, and junior and senior youth groups meet on Sunday evenings during the school year, with outings scheduled through the year. A Women's Ministry has met monthly for over a century, and fellowship events such as lunches, mother-daughter and father-son activities, and Christmas gatherings are held nearly every month. Outreach includes support for local food pantries, a social concerns committee, the Randolph County Crisis Pregnancy Center, Randolph County CASA, and a Kids Hope mentoring program at Deerfield Elementary School. The events calendar also lists a Wednesday morning prayer meeting at 7 a.m. and occasional special meetings such as revival services. Visitors can call 765-546-7556 and should confirm times on the website.
