Dear Church,
What an exciting time for our Bread of Life Church family! Below is the latest update on our journey, filled with praise and progress:
Celebrating New Believers: Yesterday, we witnessed the incredible blessing of 32 new souls entering into a covenant with Jesus Christ through baptism. It was a beautiful testament to His mercy, spanning generations. Congratulations to all who were baptized and their families—may you continue to grow in faith!
Phase I - Purchase Complete: Praise the Lord! On Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, we officially closed on the United Methodist Church property. Bread of Life Church is now the proud owner, and we give all glory to God for His faithfulness!

Remodeling Phase II Begins: With Phase I of fundraising and purchasing the property successfully completed, we are now entering Phase II, prioritizing the stage and sanctuary remodel. Additional phases will follow as funds are raised. We plan to expand seating capacity by removing side rooms, as originally designed, to accommodate over 600 people! A 3D video is available to give you a sense of our direction, with more details to follow as plans are researched and developed.
Fundraising Continues: We are humbly continuing to raise funds to support the remaining goals for our remodel phases. May the Lord richly bless all who are giving generously to this Kingdom work!
General Contractor Selected: We are pleased to announce that AP Services, led by our very own Anatoliy Petrovskiy, has been appointed as the General Contractor for the renovation and coordination of our new building. This decision followed a careful evaluation of reliability, professionalism, timeline, and efficiency. AP Services will collaborate with our Transition Team, Church Board, volunteers, and professional consultants to execute the remodel phases. Thank you, AP Services, for your willingness to serve in this vital role!
Prayer Requests: As we prepare to list our current church building for sale, please continue to pray for the right buyers to come forward, and for wisdom and guidance throughout this transition.
Thank you, church family, for your unwavering support, prayers, and generosity. Let’s continue to walk in faith as we build God’s vision together!
