All Saints Church
began in July 2007
Here is the latest news about our exciting plans to build the next phase of the new Church and Parish Centre which started July 2007 and is due to open April 2008.
Our aim is to replace St Francis House, in which all our current worship and other activities take place, with a brand new church and centre. Our fundraising in the first seven years has been hard work, but encouraging, and has raised over £770,000 for the Building Fund. Thus we are now able to move forward on the first phase - the building of the new All Saints Church.
This new church will have a seating capacity of 200 people, with entrance foyer, toilet accomodation, drinks kitchen and storage space. The building will be located adjacent to St Francis House and the phased development allows for the continued use of St Francis House, as can be seen on this more detailed plan.
Everyone is welcome into the friendly atmosphere of our 9:30 am Sunday Eucharist Service. Younger members meet with leaders in groups appropriate to their age or can stay with their families in church. Times and days of our other normal services can be found here.
Do come and join us in this exciting project!!
It's for everyone in the community!!
The final building phase is a centre not only for our many church based groups but also for community groups such as local residents and tenants groups, pre-school and other children's activities, youth and senior citizens groups, day services and adult education, the library service etc.
The current plans allow for future phased development as and when funds become available and to meet contemporary needs. In both phases we are aiming to maintain a high standard of specification for building quality and materials used, bearing in mind that we are replacing the original parish church. We are also now consulting widely and seeking further funding in preparation for the demolition of St Francis House and its replacement with a purpose-built centre for use by all across our community.
