The Vision

Since we began in 2005 our vision and hope has been to see Moorlands grow, under God, into a city centre church which is able to reach the city of Lancaster and its university campuses for Christ, equip and send out gospel workers into the world-wide mission field, and help resource, plant and revitalise other churches.

With the purchase of the former URC Buildings on the High Street in the very heart of the city, we now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something that will expand and multiply gospel ministry for many years to come.  With its strategic central location and space for growth, we believe this site will enable many more people to hear the saving message of Jesus, knowing that as his word is taught, Jesus is building something that will last for ever. 

The Plans

We are working hard on an ambitious re-development project to turn these ancient buildings into a modern, welcoming and accessible resource where the word of God can be heard, and people built up in Christ. We plan to install a new lift for accessibility, a commercial kitchen to enable us to cater for large events and a new welcoming space to join the existing buildings together and provide a focal point for meetings. Alongside this we plan to modernise and refit the existing spaces so they are functional and efficient for the generations to come.
