Beechwold Updates

In January we gathered at Beechwold Christian Church for a powerful night of worship and prayer. These moments remind us of God’s nearness and the heart of our church… to follow after Jesus together and contend for awakening in our city.

As we continue forward Pastor Bronson Duke and the Elders of Westerville Christian Church will use this page to share updates for Beechwold and where we are in the planning process so far. Let’s keep listening, praying, and moving forward together.
