Newton Abbot

building fund

We are so blessed to see what God is doing in our Newton Abbot church plant. People are finding Jesus, people are connecting afresh with God and many people are getting involved to reveal the glory of God to the town and surrounding areas.

So far, we have raised £540,000 for the purchase of the building and work, so far, inside inside the building. We wanted this substantial building to be a ‘bridge’ to the people of Newton Abbot and we sensed that one of the best ways of achieving this will be to open a café. This café will be open throughout the week and can also be used in the evenings for things like alpha courses etc. We want this café to be a top-quality addition to the town and offer a wonderful and engaging environment for all ages.

We hoped it would have opened by now but delays for things like planning permissions and fire inspection reports have put us behind schedule and they have also increased the costs significantly from our previous estimations. It is regarding these increased costs that we are writing to you.

We need to raise an additional £145,000.00 to complete this facility and we would be so grateful if you were able to help. We are in discussions with Elim about arranging a flexible borrowing facility which we can draw on if needed, but it would of course be amazing if we could get this project launched without any borrowings at all. It’s a big need and a big ask - but in the context of us so far raising £540,000.00 for the purchase cost and various works already carried out we believe it is possible and know it will be worth it. Once opened, it is our hope that the ongoing café activities will be profitable and bring an additional income stream into the churches mission.

As well as standing with us in prayer, can you give? If you are able to then here are a few ways you can do so:

·        Give online by following this link

·        Give via our Sunday giving envelopes and marking them with ‘Newton Abbot Building Fund’

·        Or if you would like to discuss any donations from your business then please feel free to contact me mark.pugh@rediscoverchurch.com or our finance officer phil.kelly@rediscoverchurch.com

Thank you for prayerfully considering how you may be able to help us make this possible. We look forward to seeing the doors open on this building but we particularly look forward to hearts opening to the love of God through this gospel venture.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and giving.

Love & Blessings
