We Are Ready For Transformation
The Experience Center
A Community Life Center
THE FACILITY.
The new facility will provide 17,320 sq. ft of freedom and space for community and family life development. We are not constructing a brand new facility, instead we are renovating a currently standing structure.
WHY RENOVATE.
We’ve reached capacity in our current facility and God continues to bless us with more and more people seeking to be a part of the FBC family and partner with us in community transformation.
WE`RE CREATIVE.
The newly renovated space will provide the FREEDOM in both indoor/outdoor areas for sports activities, banquets, after school tutoring, dance studio for formal dance training, senior citizens enrichment, administration, fellowships, and more.
OUR VISION
The vision is not to transform a building; the vision is to transform lives. The transformation to a new and state of the art facility will aide in making it possible for the vision to be fulfilled.
Our current building has provided us large but limited space to do great things, the added facilities will give us freedom to do even greater!

It takes a village, and we could use your help.
