The new Berean Bible Church located at No. 1 Hothersal Turning, St Michael.
Berean Bible Church has been blessed with a new building as it celebrates its 60th anniversary.
Yesterday, in the presence of the Governor General of Barbados, His Excellency Sir Elliott Belgrave, Pastor Ronald Trotman dedicated the new church building which sits on approximately 3.9 acres of land at No. 1 Hothersal Turning, St Michael.
This multi-purpose complex houses a large sanctuary, pastor’s office, junior church and hospitality room, nursery, admin office and state-of-the-art multimedia room. The new building replaces the former Baxter’s Road location, which had outgrown its usefulness.
“It is a miracle, nothing short of a miracle, for us to be sitting in this place today,” expressed head of the church, Pastor Trotman as he thanked all who made the building a reality.
“We need to reflect on the goodness of God and thank him for all he has done.”
Deidre Boyce in her presentation said that the new Berean Bible Church, which started construction in 2014, has been made possible through the selfless sacrifice of the congregation. She recalled that the church’s Board started an intense drive to raise funds through pledges of donations made by the congregation.
“This effort was quite successful and was the most significant fund-raising effort to date. The process of fund-raising continued with a flea market held the last Saturday of every month. A fund-raising committee was also established which hosted fund-raising events,” she noted.
The congregation continued to contribute, donating windows and doors, as well as financing building materials. Persons living overseas associated with the church also contributed significantly.
“We are moving into a new era. The Berean Bible Church has an even greater role to play than ever before in an age when it matters even more…Our move to this new church will equip us to do even more work in the service of our Lord,” she highlighted.
