We truly have four seasons in the QCA. Our springs bring new life, our summers are hot, our winters are cold and snowy and the fall is just beautiful. People love the Mississippi River and there are a lot of community activities that revolve around the river. The QCA is a very artsy community with some amazing museums and art districts. This is an easy area to fall in love with because the people are so welcoming. From a ministry perspective, the QCA ranks 15th on Barna’s list of “Most Post-Christian Cities in the USA” so there is plenty of work that must be done and this is what drives BCC to be a church for these cities that is bigger than Sunday, bigger than Bettendorf, and invests beyond our lifetime.
