BEC is an independent non-denominational Church with people of many backgrounds.  Our desire is to see the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in Bathurst, and for God’s people to grow to maturity and holiness.  Services are Bible-focused, with a relaxed and contemporary style.

BEC enjoys working with other churches with a high view of the Bible and a desire to share the message of God’s love.  Through the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, we have links with churches in our own state and also in Western Australia, the ACT and Queensland.

Bathurst Evangelical Church (BEC) began in February 1997 through the initiative of local Bathurst people keen for the development of Christ-centred, Bible-based and mission-minded ministry in Bathurst.

David Coy was appointed founding pastor in 1997.  He finished his work in November 2002 and is now pastoring St Paul’s Anglican Church, Terrey Hills.
