SIGN UP “When my deacons arrived, they noticed that someone had broken into the building,” she said. “I came, and we noticed that they took all of our media equipment.”
Doors were kicked in, items turned over, and church keyboards, speakers and microphone connections were gone.
“It’s really disheartening to think that someone would actually break into a church, a house of God,” Winston said. “The devil is busy.”

She said they called the police to file an incident report. The building does have surveillance, but Winston said it appears the cords that power the cameras were cut. In the meantime, she tells us worship must continue while faced with disappointment.
“Honestly, we’re going to be praying for those people that broke in,” she said. “We’re just going to stay prayed up and believe God, we’re not going to quit doing what we do here at our church.”

Beckley Community Church was founded in Oak Cliff in 2015 by Pastor Dennis Winston. Following his sudden January death after a septic infection, his widow, Tanyss Winston, took on his mission.
The historic building has been around since the 1950s and was previously named the Beckley Hills Baptist Church.
Winston said she’s reached out to community partners to help replace the stolen equipment.
