Maintaining a strong body prepares us to better serve God. “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Together We Can Make A Difference
Together We can Make a Difference is the BFC Ministry mission statement.
Since the beginning of the BFC Ministry in 2008, our BFC/BFO Team’s mission has been to improve participants’ health and fitness, so all are better prepared to physically serve. At the same time participants raise funds through suggested class donations to support community service projects both locally and globally.
Our wonderful team of BFC Ministry Instructors share their passions for health and wellness by volunteering to provide these opportunities for exercise at Trinity. Together the BFC Team has years of experience in dance, fitness, nutrition, and health and wellness. All are degreed or certified professionals, are CPR certified, and trained to modify exercises according to participants.
While the BFC Instructors volunteer their time, the BFC/BFO participants improve their health, strength, flexibility, balance and more while enjoying fellowship, fun, and fitness in a non-intimidating atmosphere.
Join us as we strive to meet the BFC Ministry’s goal – Together We Can Make a Difference!
