The Mayor and Other Leaders

Monday afternoon I had the privilege of giving a tour of our new facility at Southridge to Charleston Mayor Danny Jones and other city officials. They expressed their gratitude for Bible Center's part in the Charleston community. The Mayor was very kind with his comments and words of encouragement.

Tuesday evening we hosted an Open House for Business and Community Leaders. A variety of pastors, elected officials, and business representatives attended the event. Margie Cooper (a violinist with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra who is also the wife of Maestro Grant Cooper) and Ian Jesse (violinist with the symphony as well) played beautiful music that filled the Gathering Space. It was a great time to gather folks from the community and give them an opportunity to see what God has done in and through Bible Center Church.

The most common word overheard at the Open House was simply "awesome." I thank God that we have the opportunity to represent Jesus well in the Kanawha Valley. May the incredible tool of our new facility aid us in pointing folks to the Savior and encourage them to grow in Him!

What a great blessing to share with and show to others what God has done!!!

Pastor,

Our new facilities are truely "awesome". I was describing how well done, and how impressive the new campus was to a friend. The comment was made "Why did it have to be so fancy?" I asked my friend if they had read about King Soloman's Temple? Surely no expense was spared in building that worship ediface. I think we should glorify God in the building of our worship space, and build it not with ideas of how to save money here or there, but to build it as if Christ himself were to worship with us each service. Would we not wish to provide Him with our best and our finest? I am thankful that our church leadership has seen fit to build a building that glorifies God, and can be used as a tool to reach others for Christ.
