The
new church is an ecumenical project between the United
Reformed Church, Baptist Church, the Methodist Church
and the Church of England. The Church Centre is also used by the
local Roman Catholic Community.
The
church centre is home to a café and several community
groups as well as being a place of worship for
residents.
Rev
Peter Wood, minister in charge, said it was an important

the funds to build it.
Rev Wood said: "We feel the church centre represents

The
church hopes to extend the building as soon as
additional funds are available. This will include break
out rooms and a quiet chapel. We
continue fund raising for the remainder.
