BETHEL CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH...GENTLEMAN START YOUR ENGINES....THIS TIME DORM 5 GETS THE EXTREME MAKEOVER--This past July the members of BCRC returned for their third dorm remodel project in as many years. In only took 5 days and dorm 5 got a new roof, siding, windows, doors, central air and heat, outside landscaping, curtains and a new interior paint job with a NASCAR theme!

Hope to see you again soon!
