JOIN US IN PERSON OR ONLINE
We’re so grateful to be together again and we welcome you to worship with us in person or online. We’ve been preparing the building for these gatherings with additional cleaning, sanitizing, equipment upgrades, and more. As a safety precaution face mask will be required for all attendees and capacity will be limited to 25% per service, so we kindly ask that you register. We are praying and believing God is inviting us into a fresh new season of His blessing! Despite all that is going on, we are full of hope, peace, and expectation.
Enhanced Safety:
-
Bathroom and Plumbing Upgrades: The installation of touchless faucets, touchless soap dispensers and touchless flush valves. All restrooms walls, doors, floors and fixtures will be thoroughly steam cleaned and sanitized regularly.
-
Escalator Safety Upgrades: All Escalators have been fitted with a combination of Schindler Safe Ultra UVC Sterilization and CleanRail Antimicrobial Escalator Handrails. This will be effective in killing bacteria and viruses, and will provide the attendees with peace of mind when holding on to the escalator handrail.
-
Interior Building Air Purification: The main Air Handlers that supply the Sanctuary will all be upgraded with new premium efficiency fan motors, with Bi-Polar ionization technology designed to assist in purifying the air.
-
Sanitizing High-Traffic Public Areas: Increased frequency and scope of all cleaning services including enhanced sanitization of high-traffic areas such as lobbies, hallways, elevators, bathrooms, counters, rails, doorknobs, and other frequently contacted surfaces in the church.
MAKING ROOM BUILDING PROJECTS
We're excited about two upcoming projects: Bus Garage & Restroom Expansion. Both projects will provide much needed safety & space for our growing congregation. We appreciate your generosity as we continue to grow!
THE NEED
Bus Garage - We need a secure place to park our church bus, van & food truck. In the past couple of years, our vehicles have been vandalized. Each time, we've filed claims with insurance to make repairs.
Restroom Expansion - Presently, our restrooms are very small & are original to 1961 construction & code. We need to expand the restooms next to the Worship Center, to provide adequate space for everyone.
THE SOLUTION
Bus Garage - We will break ground in June to build a 50x40 Bus Garage that will include 3 bays with additional storage. The garage will sit in the northwest corner of our property. - Estimated Cost $70,000
Restroom Expansion - Architects have submitted to us completed plans for the expansion of the Ladies & Men's restrooms next to the Worship Center. We will begin the permit & bidding process. If you have construction skills sets, please contact Pastor Ethan at pastorethan@bfwc.net - Estimated Cost $75,000
THE ASK
As we approach this strategic time, we are positioned as a church in one of the fastest growing cities on the east coast in terms of population, location, visibility, property and facilities. God has given us an incredible opportunity. He has, indeed, made room for us!
The vision God has set before us requires our willingness to be challenged as ordinary people and to let God, through us, do extraordinary things. He has chosen to allow us the privilege and responsibility of being a part of seeing our community transformed by the grace of Christ.
Taking new ground for God always takes a movement of His hand in the lives of His people. I call upon each of you to seek the face of God for the future direction of our church.
I’m inviting you to embark on this exciting and thrilling journey. We are seeking God and asking critical questions of our Lord to direct our actions. Most importantly, we will be praying for God to speak and us to hear. I pray it is life changing for all of us.
Psalm 27:8 “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD will I seek.”
This is your opportunity
-
To make a difference with your money.
-
To do something significant that will outlast your life.
-
To be part of a miracle.
There is no greater investment than to invest in God’s Kingdom in the task of telling people how Jesus can change their lives. It deserves our best! We love you, and we thank God for the privilege of serving here with you. We are praying the Lord’s blessings upon you, as He guides and directs you in this privilege to bless generations to come!
