Written in Heaven

I wanted to take a moment to update you about our location search for the Pekin Campus. Many of you have been praying with us as we’ve been looking for a new place to meet in Pekin. We really appreciate your prayers as we have gone on this journey together as a church.

We have been searching diligently and unfortunately we’ve been unable to locate a facility that both meets our needs and has been available to us. While the movie theater in Pekin has been a great facility for us, to continue there is not financially sustainable, neither is it financially prudent. We are committed to wise management of the financial resources God has entrusted to us. The weekly cost for operations in Pekin is three times the weekly operating cost of our Morton Campus. We recognize that to continue in this pattern of spending would be detrimental to the church long term.

So beginning this Sunday November 8, our Pekin Campus will begin worshiping with our Morton Campus. This will be until we locate an appropriate facility and have developed a giving base that will support our continued operations in the city of Pekin.

This moment is not one to lament, but one to celebrate. God has done amazing things in such a short time in Pekin! We have seen 31 people give their lives to Jesus in the 2 months we’ve been there! We know that our work there is not done. God isn’t saying “no” to us, but “not now.” We will be ready to return when the doors open for us to do so.

The Morton Campus of BridgeWay meets in the Morton Cinemas in the Field Shopping Center off of South Main Street. The Morton Campus service times are 9:30 & 11:00. Both services are identical. Along with that, the same high quality Children’s Activities and BridgeCafe are available during both as well. You will experience the same BridgeWay experience that you have in Pekin every week.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact me at the BridgeWay office 291-0320 or by email at pastormarobinson@yahoo.com.

See you Sunday in Morton!
