After 40 years in San Antonio and after much prayer, the leadership of BSF decided to move the headquarters to North Texas for several reasons. It announced the move in 2024 and purchased its present building in 2025 without incurring any debt.
BSF’s San Antonio facilities needed extensive remodeling to continue serving its needs effectively, Mindy Roehrig, BSF’s chief communications officer, told MinistryWatch. As the ministry evaluated the investment required to renovate the San Antonio property, they compared it with the highest and best use of its 278 acres. In the end, leadership recognized an opportunity to be “better stewards of [its] resources by relocating rather than renovating.”
Additionally, moving to Grapevine positioned BSF closer to DFW International, one of the world’s largest and busiest airports. With over 300 daily direct flights and many international flights, BSF staff has readier access to BSF Bible study groups in 190 countries. Roehrig said the airport’s flight availability makes it more efficient to fly international leaders to its headquarters to conduct staff training. It will also allow its staff to “reach [its] global community with greater ease — improving stewardship of time, energy, and resources.”

The ministry also hosts leadership training events in various venues worldwide, which requires international travel.
BSF also says its new location in North Texas will put it in a strategic position to connect and collaborate with both its existent BSF groups and other Christian ministries. Members of BSF leadership hope to “regularly visit classes, listen to leaders’ experiences, and engage directly with members.”
With a large concentration of BSF groups in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the ministry anticipates its location will also help recruit quality staff.
The BSF property in San Antonio is currently under contract, and the purchaser is engaged in its due diligence, Roehrig said.
According to Grapevine city documents, the interior alterations to the office building that BSF purchased are going to cost about $14.5 million.
Roehrig said the ministry intends to create office space for over 100 staff members, along with “a multi-purpose gathering space, video and podcast production studios, a reflection space highlighting BSF’s history, and community space for local members and leaders to connect and fellowship.”
She anticipates the building will be fully operational and open in early 2027 and expects the ministry to host a building dedication ceremony.
