For the able-bodied among us, kindly avoid using the lift and use the stairs. If you are already in the lift and someone in greater need approaches, please vacate your space on the lift.

We thank you for your kind cooperation.

PUNCTUALITY AND APPROPRIATE DRESSING FOR WORSHIP SERVICESAs an act of reverent worship as unto the Lord, we would like to gently remind BBTCians of the following:

Punctuality – Coming early for our Worship Services honours God and helps us to be better prepared to worship the King of kings, and Lord of lords.

Dress Appropriately - Avoid stumbling or distracting our brothers and sisters in Christ by dressing modestly and appropriately for our Worship Services.
