Big Vision
Building 418 is a community project. It is a multi-church student outreach facility that will be used to reach the unreached, to care for those that we have left behind or neglected and for those that would not darken the doors of our churches. We want to provide a safe place for all teens (Christian & nonChristian) that is free from the pressures of drugs, alcohol, violence & sex. A place that is designed to meet the needs of students, as well offer them a place to express their talents & passions (art, music, athletics, hobbies, entertainment, etc.) A place that is relationally driven, where students can come into contact with the incarnational Christ, through the shared love of His people. Building 418 is for both the proclamation of the gospel as well as the demonstration of it! Our desire is for Bldg 418 to be a place where we will meet students right where they are and offer them hope, security and possibly a whole new way to live. We not only want to meet felt needs and provide a safe haven for students, we want to invest in their futures and connect them to the plans the Lord has for them, “plans to prosper them, plans to give them a hope & a future”- Jer.29:11. Many of our local youth lack practical life skills, hope and vision for their futures and we want to equip them, inspire them and offer them opportunities to grab hold of God’s plans for their lives. Caring for the “least of these” is our calling, duty and privilege. This great endeavor is just beginning. We have started renovation of this 3,700 sq. ft building; tearing down walls, ripping out drop ceiling, etc., which has been done primarily by teenagers. We also have many committed adults with different skill sets (contractors, electricians, etc.) that have offered to help. We are still getting project cost assessments and our fundraising efforts are just beginning. Several churches have invested in this project, and city officials have offered us some grant support. We have even had some men from a local drug recovery program (Walkabout Ministries), give sweat equity to this project for they see the value of the mission. Donations to the Hope for North Brevard Thrift Store is also another way people are investing in this shared endeavor. We could use your help as well, for this is an “all hands on deck” type of project. We would like to see all of God’s people come together for “such a time as this”. Consider helping with your time (in prayer and/or serving), your talents or your treasure as a church, civic organization or as an individual. Please participate in this mighty move of God- You will be blessed! For more information check out the Bldg. 418 website: www.bldg418.org.
Our desire is to create a Christian Community Center that would serve this community by providing a safe place for teens to have fun, feel like they belong and give them opportunities to become healthy and successful adults.
HNB’s community center would also provide a tangible place for our congregations to serve and outreach to youth and families of North Brevard. Our desire is that the love of Christ would be manifest through our revealed love for one another and our community.reational sports.
