BCF is a network of three churches in the Bristol area, all joined together by a shared history, common values, and a commitment to enriching the lives of local residents.
Over the past forty years BCF has developed strong links with the communities of Emerson’s Green and surrounding areas within Bristol.
Building on this, we are now redeveloping the site that used to house one of our old church building in Blackhorse Road, Mangotsfield. In desparate need of repair, the old building would have struggled to meet our current and future needs even if we had been able to adequately refurbish it. So we decided to develop the new building, Resound. With intelligent design and a commitment towards environmentally sustainable construction, the building will prove visually stimulating and resource efficient.
As a replacement building it will enable BCF to deliver on its many commitments and ambitions. Particularly the centre will be home to Resound Church, the established Crossways pre-school, and a new community centre for the locality. We hope that Resound will not only become a meeting ground for our church members, but also the familes who use Crossways pre-school, along with the residents of Mangotsfield and Emersons Green.
Construction starts tomorrow 6th June 2011, with the completed building due to be open in February 2012.
Brilliant! We are very excited - a long wait will be rewarded. Looking forward to watching the project grow - I plan to drive by at least once a week to see how it's going.
