The BCEC has been searching for a new and larger premises for over 10 years now. With the scale of our current growth, the urgency for a new building has increased. The Church Committee regularly receives information about various properties, and those which are plausible opportunities, are shared with the congregation.
The goal of BCEC is not to have larger premises, but to love God and love our neighbours. We believe a key of doing so is by physically gathering together, reaching out to the Chinese heritage communities in Birmingham, teaching and ministry of the Word of God, fellowship, prayer, outreach, and community service. We see high value in maintaining a central location, accessible to the wider Chinese heritage community, as well as providing a hub for training and building up of others. Our current building limits our ability to do that. We simply lack to space to worship, to sustain our generational ministries, and create opportunities for new ministries to unfold.
It is that reason why we continue to look for possible locations for the future.
We thank you for your continued prayer and support for us in this.
