Plea to Build Church House as Winter Hardship Grows
Open Forum from Bryson Mountain Baptist Church appeals for help to secure a proper meeting place. The current building, once an opera house, club house, and school, is dilapidated with broken windows and rotted frames. A cold, nearly unheated space undermines services as drafty conditions threaten attendance. Donations requested via church leaders to establish a suitable church home. Enrollment figures note WAC participation at just over 86,000, far below the 150,060 target for the year.
