Story
We have a big vision for our church. We want to see 700 people on a discipleship journey with Jesus by 2025 with our town buzzing with stories of transformed lives. An end to drug addiction, depression lifted, amazing parenting, purposeful young people, people being helped into jobs and so much more. This is going to take all of us to get there and is going to mean making use of our wonderful resources. Some of our key resources are our buildings, places that have provided hope for years and which are firmly part of our towns character. They can increasingly be places that bring people together and help them be led into the transforming love of Jesus.
One of our key projects is the redevelopment of St Pauls Church. When it reopens St Pauls could be home to a bigger parent and tots group, parent and tots church, a café, mental health support groups, new church plants, youth activities and much much more. The total cost of the first phase of the redevelopment is £573,000 which is a HUGE amount and can be a bit overwhelming when you think about raising it. However thanks to some generous community members, some well written funding forms and the generosity of God weve so far raised £505,193. That leaves £70k for us to raise in this 1st phase of the redevelopment. That may seem a lot but its the last 12%!!
