Bell Shoals Baptist To Host Ribbon-Cutting For Riverview Campus

RIVERVIEW, FL -- Bell Shoals Baptist Church will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Riverview campus facility on Tuesday.

Members of the Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce will join the Rev. Kyle Norton and other members of the church to celebrate the opening of the new Riverview campus at noon at 9990 S. U.S. 301.

Norton, a native of Pensacola, said he's eager to meet the community. He moved to the area with his wife, Amy, and their two sons, Luke and Micah.

"We want to be the best neighbor and that will mean that we will engage with the community in assisting to meet the physical, mental and spiritual needs of Riverview," he said.

In conjunction with the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Bikes for Christ will be on hand to introduce its ministry to residents.

Bike for Christ was founded in 2016 by bicycling enthusiast Pat Simmons who, while assisting in a mission to feed the homeless in Ybor City, realized there was a great need for bicycles for the homeless.

Bikes for Christ collects used bicycles and distributes them to homeless and impoverished adults and children in four counties.

The Riverview campus is the fourth campus opened by the church at 2102 Bell Shoals Road, Brandon.

The Riverview campus will host services each Sunday at 11 a.m.
