NEW BGW FACILITY FOR YUBA CITY CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

In November of 2003, Yuba City Church of the Nazarene completed a new church/family center. The building was designed to provide the church with a practical solution to their need for multi-use space.

“I think God has just really been pleased because we have been able to use this building for so many things from basketball events to dinner events, as well as worship, and that is why we are growing. It has just been amazing to see what God has been able to do, not only through Building God's Way, but when we're obedient to him,” states Bob Best, Yuba City's Associate Pastor/Minister of Music.

The 18,460 square feet is primarily made up of a worship area. This area comfortably seats 525 guests, and includes an easily viewable stage area. However, with a little modification after services, the worship area is easily transformed into a full court gymnasium. In the Southwest corner of this space, a pass through window leads into the kitchen and foyer areas. In addition, the building also features four classrooms and six administrative offices.

George Natale, head of the Nazarene's Building Committee, has been impressed with how rapidly the church has grown. “It's amazing what's happened at this church just since the building has been done. It's brought so many new people to this church, more than we ever anticipated. We didn't think we would be thinking about a new building in the near future. A year and a half later, we're already looking to try and figure out what we're going to do because it's amazing what buildings do, they bring people.”
