Autumn Home group plan

Posted by admin on 25th September 2012

This term in our home groups we are thinking about the topic of the church. We are linking the Home Group teaching with the Sunday morning series. This is a great opportunity to get the most out of Sunday sermons by discussing them together and talking and praying about how we can put them into practice.

Autumn Home Group Plan

In Home groups we meet together to study the Bible and pray for one another. There are various different groups meeting in homes around the area. If you would like to join a Home Group, please speak to Ian or contact the church office.

Plans – renovation of the Holy Redeemer

Plans for the renovation of the interior of the Holy Redeemer Church are in the initial stage.

The above plan is our preferred option of three designs suggested by our architect. These are not final plans; they were drawn up as part of the feasibility study and will be refined following consultations with our congregation, neighbours and planning authorities.

Vision

Our vision was:

‘To renovate the Holy Redeemer Church into a modern space that is attractive, versatile and sustainable for a variety of church and community functions, while preserving the character of the church for posterity’

Our brief was to preserve a worship space that could seat 300 people, and create 5 new rooms of varying sizes, new toilets and a kitchen. As well as the plaster repairs, the electrics would be upgraded and underfloor heating would be installed. If possible, we also wanted some extra parking and a garden outside.

Phases

We asked the architect to advise us on phasing the work to allow us to raise the necessary funds in manageable amounts. He proposed two phases.

The plans of the first phase of work can be seen below. The second and final phase are above. An artist’s impression can be seen in the video below.

Fundraising & costs – Renovation work

Posted by admin on

We are at an early stage of planning, with initial costings of the work. However, we need to begin fundraising now if we are to raise the necessary funds and return the Holy Redeemer Church building to use.

Costs

We anticipate needing to raise the following:

£530,000 to complete the work in one build, OR

£580,000 + to phase the work in two stages
Phase 1 (internal repairs, new heating, kitchen and toilets): £310,000
Phase 2 (creation of new rooms): £270,000

Targets

Our aim is to raise £310, 000 in our first year, and the rest of the money in 5 years.

About £126,000 has already been raised towards the ‘Plans to Serve’ building project.

We hope to raise the remainder through individual giving, fundraising events and grant applications.
