We welcome newcomers to the BSCC Prayer Shawl Ministry. We knit, we crochet, and we pray nearly every Tuesday at 5:30 pm in the Youth Building, located to the back left of the church. 
Join us. We will gladly teach you.
Welcome!
Welcome to Broad Street Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), located in the historic district of New Bern, North Carolina. We center our life together in the worship of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our worship style is traditional/blended with a celebration of Holy Communion every Sunday. The worship service begins at 11 am. We are an instrumental church, and our worship features the choir, organ, and piano. Guest vocalists and musicians often share their gifts as well.

Our Building
January 24, 2014 by
Our building is a neoclassical structure, built with buff-colored brick and lime-stone. It features a shallow pediment supported by stucco columns on the façade. The inside of the sanctuary is lighted naturally by windows in a low-domed cupola centered over the nave. A seating gallery on the third floor over-looks the pulpit and choir area with enclosed side wings containing classrooms, counseling offices, and a choir room.
Yes, We Are Handicap-Accessible
Portions of our building (first floor Fellowship Hall, restrooms, and children’s wing, as well as our second level sanctuary) are handicap accessible. Persons needing assistance should follow these instructions to access our worship space:
1) Park in a Handicap-reserved parking space on Bern Street or in the Bern Street parking lot. Persons in wheelchairs will need to use the city sidewalk to access the no-step way to the building.
2) Enter the building through the large black iron gate on the Bern Street side. This entrance and foyer leads to the Fellowship Hall.
3) Remember to use the restrooms on the lower level before ascending to the sanctuary level. (The sanctuary level restroom is four steps below the sanctuary.)
4) The elevator is in the Fellowship Hall–on the Bern Street side. Someone will be available to assist you with the elevator. If you have questions or need extra assistance, please ask.
5) Take the elevator up. When you open the door, you are in the sanctuary.
6) Following worship, someone can assist you with the elevator to return to the ground level.
Note: We have wheelchairs, walkers, and other medical devices available if you need a temporary loan–for a worship service or even longer. Please call the church office and tell us how we can help you.
Disciples and UCC Partnership
July 9, 2013 by
In 1989 the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) approved a historic partnership of full communion. The two churches proclaimed mutual recognition of their sacraments and ordained ministry.
Though remaining two distinct denominations, the UCC and Disciples have committed through their partnership to seek opportunities for common ministry, especially where work together will enhance the mission of the church.
The partnership is a unique experiment in U.S. ecumenism. In every setting of the two churches, UCC members and Disciples are serving Christ side by side. There are now more than 30 “federated” congregations affiliated with both denominations, and it is now common for Disciples and UCC ministers to serve congregations of the other denomination. The Common Global Ministries Board, formed by the UCC’s Wider Church Ministries and the Disciples’ Division of Overseas Ministries, unites the international mission work of the two churches.
