Bellingham (WA) Celebrates Grand Opening

Bellingham Covenant had a neighborhood block party during the afternoon as food booths, the local fire department and a number of classic cars were part of the day's activities. The high school drama group also assisted and an area singer and a local band performed during the day.

The prime reason for the grand opening was the opening of new $4.2 million facility, which includes a sanctuary seating 400 and a gymnasium. Groundbreaking for the facility occurred in August 2002. Pastor Dan Boyce leads the congregation of 200 in a city located 90 minutes north of Seattle.

Bellingham Covenant dedicated its 30,000-square-foot, one-floor building on September 7. The congregation also hosted homecoming services on September 14 as previous senior pastors Ray Anderson (1962-64), Carleton Peterson (1970-1985), Ken Larson (1985-1990), Brad Hill (1991-99) and Jerry Johnson (1999-2001) were among the honored guests. Hill preached at one service and Peterson preached at the second service on September 14.
