At B4 Church we are looking at the vision and values of our church in our series called All Things New. Each week in the series, we will look at one of the 4 words, the 4 B’s, that describes who we want to be as a church. This week, Pastor Alex and Ashleigh (MDiv) look at the “Beyond”. Taking Jesus outside of the walls of the church and building bridges into the world around us…” to infinity and beyond”
