 During
the eighties the church began to grow
and needed to adapt the buildings to
the needs of the modern world.
Changes included modernising the downstairs
hall, putting in disabled toilets and
a stair lift.
The transformation of the front of the
church and repairing of the stained
glass windows was undertaken in 1994. |

Revd Tim Shelley
In 2000 Revd Tim Shelley came as assistant
Minister and in 2004 was appointed as
Minister/Team Leader. |

 During
2001 further extensive changes were
made, these included the opening of
the Crofts.
These are now used as offices, a meeting
room and the centre of the Open Door
Counselling Service.

 Later
the same year the newly refurbished
church worship area was reopened. Improvements
included new heating, lighting, carpets
and chairs.
The effect was to make the building
much more flexible and attractive for
both church and community to use.
Ultimately however, the church is not
primarily about buildings, but about
proclaiming the good news of Jesus in
relevant ways to people of our generation.
And in that sense the story goes on.
