BASIC CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES
BCC units are forums where persons of different social and economic levels come together. Inspired by the love of Christ persons come forward to help the less fortunate in whichever way they can. All 12 units conduct their meetings regularly every month in the houses of members. The date, time and venue of the meeting are announced in the church during Sunday mass and published in the parish bulletin. From among the BCC members office bearers were elected as men leader, lady leader, secretary, treasurer, conveners for pastoral, Education, social and youth ministries. These leaders become members of parish level ministries and gather once in a month, the first Sunday, to guide the parish council which is formed out of the parish council members elected from the BCC units and the conveners of different ministries elected from the unit representatives of the different ministries.
Strengths of BCCs
- Bible study and spontaneous prayer are wide spread
- The members are of middle class and are socially, educationally and economically well off
- Persons of the parish are closely knit
- Increased participation of laity in liturgy
- Church community has become global
- Women of the parish are empowered
Challenges of BCCs
- The parish has a floating population
- Material well being prevents some from active participation
- Migration of persons between 20 to 40 creates problems in homes
