Building project

For many years the Church has found that the buildings built in the 19thcentury are becoming less suitable for the needs of a active Church in the 21 st century. We need to improve access for the disabled, modernise facilities to meet current regulations, and provide additional space to meet the needs of our Church, so that we can better serve God and our local community. Yet we want to preserve the wonderful character of our existing building.

After prayerful consideration the Church engaged the services of an architect to turn this vision into a practical building project, which has resulted in the idea of creating an additional building between the existing buildings, and reworking the entire Church Hall. An outside impression will look something like this.

Our current situation is that we have planned our project in detail over the past two years, we have gained planning permission, and we have competitively selected a building contractor, and will be starting work in March 2008. The cost of this major work will be a total of 365,000. We have already raised 300,000, and so still have a funding gap.
