The Builders for Christ Mission Team is a team consisting of Elders and teams from churches all over the East Coast.  The mission of Builders for Christ is to assist churches in building new buildings or additions.  Builders seeks to help churches construct buildings for reaching the surrounding communities as well as keeping costs down for the recipient church.  The team is full of volunteers of various construction skills from master builder to those who have never lifted a tool.  It is a great experience for the whole family.

Builders for Christ is usually involved in the following:  drywall, framing, setting the steeple, siding installation, insulating, and building the stage among other things.  There are also teams for meal provision, praying, VBS for little children, and the snack team (Frozen grapes are a favorite).

SPECIAL SPRING BUILDERS TRIP TO SPEEDWELL, TN

March 27-31, 2023

Some of you may remember Liberty Baptist Church in Speedwell, Tenn. We did a sanctuary building for them several years ago with a combined group of Maryland and Mobile builders. They have been in contact with me about fellowship hall attached to the first building we built. The block is laid, and they will be putting the floor on. Our mission will be to build the walls, set trusses, and shingles. If windows are ready and doors we should have the time for them as well. The trip is set for Monday March 27^th to Friday March 31^st. If Saturday is needed we can help if your time allows. The building is 40’x57’ with 8’0 high walls and a 5/12 roof pitch. Very builder friendly! We would like to field approx. 25-35 guys for this build. Housing will be available and some remember Joanne owns a diner a mile down the road and will be feeding us. If you are interested in being a part of this trip you can contact me directly @ RPWMSCONST@AOL.COM or let Kathy know if your Maryland and Susan if your are Mobile. This will be a great opportunity to get us warmed up for June in Spanish Fort. God bless and I hope the Lord leads your heart to help.

Please contact the church office at 410-795-9481 if you are interested in going on this trip.
