Sixty Three Main Street

Back in 2019 we became aware that the disused carpet shop over the road from our Main Street venue was available for rent. We had a look around….and started dreaming.

We began to imagine just how much more we could do both as a church and within the community if we also have the resource of this shop.

Thankfully our trustees have huge faith and so we took the plunge and in September 2019 took on the lease for the ‘old carpet shop’ which we’ve now named Number 63 (because it’s address is 63 Main Street!)

There was loads of work to do on the premises and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone in our church family and beyond who got involved to make 63 a useable space. Then Covid happened.

Thankfully, our lovely caretaker Chris and Carol were able to commit much of their time in 2020 to completely renovating Number 63 – even fitting a donated kitchen to make loads of work space for the various things that we will use the venue for.

No 63 is an incredible resource that enables us as a church to do so much more. The rooms are used for storage, for food bank, to run Alpha, prayer meetings and as an overflow for so many other weekly groups that happen. 

We also love seeing how it is being used for and by the community alongside our other community building No 1.
