Plans | Fundraising | Gift Aid | Renewal Project Standing Order

Our renewal project is about providing great facilities to enable Mission in our villages for the next 100 years.

• It will help us to grow in Worship:
  The redesigned worship area will provide a flexible, welcoming, well-equipped place to encounter God!

• It will help us to grow in Fellowship:
  The new rooms and link building will provide flexible spaces with well-equipped catering and toilet facilities for when we meet together!

• It will help us to grow in our Discipleship:
  The extra meeting rooms will accommodate our growing Sunday School and other small groups that meet to study and learn.

• It will help us grow in Ministry:
  Great hall facilities are needed to develop our ministries to our community – Little Fishes, the Beacon Café and other community groups who currently have to use a 1950’s kitchen and toilets in another building.

• And, of course, it will help facilitate Mission:
  The project provides more flexible and up to date buildings. They will help make a statement that Christianity isn’t a crumbling Victorian edifice but a faith for the people of our villages today.

This project is about doing more than that. We have a stewardship responsibility too. The Victorians rebuilt the church in faith and subsequent generations have benefited from their vision.  Now, as with very many churches around the country, we are rising to the challenge of meeting new demands, legal requirements and expectations of our own age. In addition, there are many essential outstanding repairs needed to maintain our buildings in accordance with their Listed Building status.

This exciting scheme includes:

• Three extra rooms

• Refurbished worship area

• New kitchen

• A link building between the two buildings with

  • New entrance and reception area for the whole unified building

  • An office

  • New toilets

• New store

• Improvements to the grounds, paths and car parking

• and all the essential repairs
