Finally!

After years of searching and praying we have finally bought our own building!

Unit 3 Brooks Road (opposite Homebase) is a new 6000 square foot warehouse, which we plan to convert into a centre for the church's activities as well as being available for community use.  

How Much?

The initial purchase was for £500,000 and the refurbishment is expected to be in the region of £450,000. 

The purchase and refurbishment is being solely funded by church members giving generously as part of our mission to establish a strong, vibrant church in Lewes.  It has been amazing to see the funds coming in despite the current economic climate, allowing us to press on with the project.
