Building project
“Building the church of the future in the heart of Harrogate”
Meeting the Challenges…
We decided, in 2007, that our magnificent church building in the centre of Harrogate, could be redeveloped to extend our mission. St. Peter’s is a Victorian building and to meet the challenges of the 21st century, we believe we should open the building to let the world see in and us reach out.
At present …
We have Breakfast Club, to feed those who are homeless or in need, every morning and hand out food parcels at 5pm. We have a full range of worship opportunities (see Worship and Learning) catering for every taste on Sundays and throughout the week. We are the town centre church hosting a variety of Civic services throughout the year. We have growing congregations. We offer physical and spiritual nourishment to all but our building needs to be updated to meet increasing demands.
Our Vision …
We want to develop our Youth work and increase our role within the community even further. Our building project will enhance what we do already, but in addition will:
- give us a community hall for Youth work and training opportunities
- give the town centre a Changing Places WC
- increase the number of meeting rooms for community use and to accommodate our growing range of activities
- introduce glazing which will invite the outside world in to share our magnificent building
The project …
We have engaged Architects Pearce Bottomley to design the new areas and enhance existing spaces (See Architects Proposals). We have obtained necessary Planning Permissions and are now in the throes of a major fundraising campaign to raise the £2million required to realise our vision. So far, we have raised £1.5million, and are working very hard to raise the remaining £0.5million (See Supporting our Project)
