Recent/Current/Future Projects:
Bethel Community Facility (BCF) was envisioned 40 years ago by Rev. John H. Rice, Sr., former Pastor of St. Bethel Baptist Church. After, years of watching the area he grew up in deteriorate, he decided that a local community center was needed to serve as a headquarters for community restoration. Without the help of bank loans, the center was constructed. Bethel Community Facility provides a range of job training opportunities for young people ages 16 to 21. These programs integrate leadership development, comprehensive support services, educational programming, and college enrollment with on-the-job vocational training. Our goal is to transform the lives of young adults so they can gain living wage employment, go to college, and become positive forces in their communities.
