Exciting News at Bellbrook UMC

Construction on an addition to the Bellbrook UMC, one of our fifteen Common Cup shared ministry churches is moving forward at a fast pace. They are hoping to complete this project by this September and they have scheduled a consecration service with our Bishop in October.

Yesterday, I was given a tour through the new addition as workers were busy on various projects, one of which included painting the exterior brick white to match the existing church building. Church members provide refreshments to the workers on a weekly basis as part of their radical hospitality ministry.

The new addition will include a fellowship hall area for meals and programs, office space, restrooms, a kitchen (although kitchen appliances will not be part of this building phase), a spacious nursery, and a large hallway.

Pictured above is Pastor Terry Heck standing in front of the new addition.
