Bridge Builders conducted the first outreach in more than 20 years at the old Bojangles Theater in Church Hill. Located at the intersection 29th & Q Streets, this facility is being remodeled by a group of Christian leaders as a community arts center. This facility was the center of black culture in the Church Hill area during the 1930s.
Plans call for a facility that will once again inspire and provide the community with a space to develop talents and local culture. Mitch Bennett said this outreach exceeded his expectations and made history by signaling the good times ahead for the community.
Hundreds of people gathered in the parking lot, which had not been used for a community event since the 1980s. A few people made a profession of faith in Christ while hundreds received free food and entertainment. The BB team did a great job during a very hot day. Our team also partnered with the ROC and Pastor Otis Smith.
The new arts center is scheduled to open next year.
