Hamilton is messy; so are we. In early 2017, with the support of Philpott Church (our home church), the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada (our not-really-a-denomination), and C2C (our church planting network), six families met for the first time in the living room of Mike and Heather Mileski; the nucleus of what would be Benediction Church. Since those days, we’ve tried to create a culture in which it’s natural to be the Church for one another and the city, not just to go to church.  Our families are diverse, blue / white-collar families with deep roots in the city. Belonging in BCC is expressed in two main rhythms: in our Faith Families we share community, discipleship, and mission through meals, study of Scripture, and neighbour love. Our weekly worship gathering is called Word and Table.
