On September 27th 2009 BPC will meet for the last time for service at the James 5:16 Center before we move to our new location on Sunday Oct. 4 at 9:30am at the 1st Christian Church, 400 E. 9th Ave in East Tarentum. It's with this thought in mind that I want to say a "Big Thank You" to Jim Kobert the owner of the Boxing Gym.
BPC connected with Jim through a mutual friend & when he heard the vision & mission of BridgePoint Jim welcomed us with open arms saying,"You can use the building for as long as you need to!" It was from the James 5:16 Center that BridgePoint Church was launched into the community of Tarentum & the Allegheny Valley holding Sunday night launch team meeting, monthly preview services & "Come Back" events all leading up to our Grand Opening on Palm Sunday of 2008. Jim & Stacey Kobert were the perfect hosts during our time in the gym doing whatever they could to make us feel at home! Stacey even lead a "Zumba" exercise class for the ladies last Spring.
The James 5:16 Center is not just a boxing gym, it's a Christ center ministry that helps people spiritually while becoming physically healthy. Jim believes that as we work on our bodies we should more importantly be working on our relationship with God! It's a Boxing Gym that views Christ as the "Ultimate Champ!" The James 5:16 center offers instruction in boxing, wrestling & weight training. Visit their website at http://www.james516center.org/ to find out more.
So, now that we're in full swing into September let me again say a "Big Thank You" to Jim & Stacey Kobert & all the trainers at the James 5:16 Center! We love you guys & will continue to be praying for your ministry!!
