Building For The Future
A dramatic development…
We were fundraising for a building locally that would have been excellent for us, and rehearsal-ready, but we discovered a legal technicality of access could have been a problem for loading, and we were not managing to raise the amount needed for its purchase…
However, as one door shut, another opened: a disused building 100 metres from our current location came up for auction. We decided to place a bid and were successful! It is a project: the building will need a lot of work and plans will have to be drawn up to make it fit our needs. Nonetheless, it feels like a positive step forward. Thank you to everyone who has donated – we have raised a huge £90K, allowing us to buy the building and have a fund left for the development work needed. We will have a clearer idea of what finances we need once we have more detailed plans of the work required, and will keep you informed.
A Crucial Space
We use our building to…
- Rehearse our productions
- Build & store stage sets
- Experiment with new ideas & scripts
- Pray & study God’s Word
- Manage bookings & advertising
- Develop our website & social media
- Organise Gift Aid
- Train interns
What Next?
As mentioned, the building will be an ongoing project, but one thing is certain: we don’t want the building to distract us from our mission of sharing the Christian message. Whilst the building fund is still open for donations towards the development work, we will now re-focus our fundraising efforts to developing drama and renewing stage equipment for outreach events.
Please do continue to pray for us as we navigate this next big step, whilst keeping focused on our mission work. Thank you.
