Our chili and dessert cookoff will be extra special this year! During the event, we’ll honor Charlie Hughes, our senior adult ministries coordinator, who is retiring at the end of December. Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 11, from 5:00-7:00 in the Social Room, and plan to join us. Prizes for the best chili and dessert will be awarded! Plus, we’ll have fun games and activities for all ages. Food sign-ups are open! Sign up to bring a crockpot of chili or dessert here:
We also have notecards available in the Welcome Center for you to write a note to Charlie congratulating him on his retirement.
Our Disciple Now 2026 dates are set! Mark your calendars for January 16-18. Middle and high school students are invited to join us for this fun in-town weekend retreat!
We'll start the evening of Friday, January 16, and be done at noon on Sunday, January 18. The cost is $120 and will include all meals, events, and activities. Register here:
Our speaker is CJ Rice. She is the student pastor at First United Methodist Church in McKinney, TX. CJ will lead us in a weekend of faith development and spiritual growth.
Disciple Now is an in-town retreat, so we're staying in homes around Liberty and having our community times at 2BC. Each night we'll have a fun event, and on Saturday morning, we'll participate in a service project in Kansas City and have a meal out on the town.
The 2BC Book Club is led by Jennifer Dilts and Christy Edwards. We typically meet on the last Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. The book is announced at least a month ahead and reserved at Woodneath Library in Liberty.
Registration is now open for Masterpiece Arts Camps 2026! This year's camps are on January 31 and are open to preschool and elementary children. Click here to register:
These camps offer children opportunities to participate in a variety of creative activities—painting, cooking, sculpting, music, drama, and more! Camps are open to anyone in the community.
Pre-registration is required so we have sufficient materials, and the fee included helps us purchase supplies and a snack. (Scholarships available upon request - email afuller@2bcliberty.)
We’ll have a short Gallery & Demonstration for parents from 4:00-4:15 (elementary children only).
We are always looking for ideas and volunteers – contact Angie Fuller to share your suggestions and/or your time and talent with children.

We'll have dinner together and our annual white elephant gift exchange. Bring a wrapped white elephant gift for the exchange. We're switching up the rules of the gift exchange this year. Please don't spend any money on your gift! Instead, we're doing a true white elephant. That means you find something in your house to wrap up! Also, we are not doing the fuzzy socks exchange this year.
Dress up in your favorite Ugly Christmas sweater to show off your holiday cheer!
Please plan to join us for our annual Celebrate the Season: Community Christmas Concert this December. This year's concert is on Saturday, December 13, at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary.
We are especially excited about this year's concert because Mark Hayes is our guest conductor. He is an award-winning composer, arranger, and conductor known for his contributions to choral, piano, and orchestral music.
The concert is free, but an offering will be taken during the event. Please invite family and friends. It's going to be a great concert!
We are thrilled that Mark Hayes, our guest conductor for Celebrate the Season, has agreed to host a pre-concert conversation in the sanctuary from 2:15-2:35 p.m. on December 13.
This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from an acclaimed composer and conductor. All of the selections at the concert—except for the handbells—are Mark’s own compositions. His music is performed in churches and universities around the world and is known for its distinctive American sound, blending gospel, jazz, pop, folk, and classical styles.
During the conversation, he will discuss the works to be performed during the concert and his compositional process. The concert will begin at 3 p.m.
