THE BUILDING CHURCH STORY

Building Church is a non-denominational, Spirit-led, life-giving church
located in Huntsville, Alabama. BC (as we call it) was ARC church
plant #45. Our church began in a movie theater here in HSV in 2007
by our founding pastors David and Stephanie Pursiful. The church
moved to the Malco theater shortly after the launch and was portable
for ten years. In 2015, land was purchased and construction began on
our current worship space. In April 2016, we moved from the theater
to our current worship center and have enjoyed having our own
permanent worship space. In February 2017, Pastors David and
Stephanie stepped down as Lead Pastors, and Pastors Spencer and
Ellen Beach moved from Bentonville, Arkansas—where they had been
serving as Executive Pastors for the previous seven years—to assume
the role of Lead Pastors.

2018 and 2019 marked years of incredible growth and deepening of
the leadership team. In March of 2020 along with the rest of the
world, we went online only and stayed that way until Fathers Day in
June of 2020. When we reopened, we had two services with about
200 in attendance. While this was a far cry from the 750 that we were
experiencing in 2019 we were thankful to gather. We have been
moving forward ever since and currently have between 500-600 in
average Sunday attendance. We are looking forward to expanding our
reach into other parts of the region through campus expansion,
conferences, and community events that allow us to influence the
region that God has called us to serve.
