Skegness-area church ‘delighted’ with new building

The words of the Rev Colin Bowden now that work on the new worship centre at Burgh Baptist Community Church is finished.

K-Net Construction recently handed the building over to the church at the end of a project which began almost 18 months ago.

Mr Bowden, pastor of the church, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the building. K-Net Construction have worked with us from the beginning in March 2019 and throughout the project. The trades that have worked on site have been brilliant and respectfully aware that they were building a church.

“The quality and finish is outstanding and we have had a lot of very positive comments from people in the community. The whole project has been a culmination of a lot of faith and prayer, and we finished it without being in debt; thanks to the generosity of people at the church.”

The first service in the new building was held last Sunday, with the congregation observing social distancing.

“The atmosphere at the first service was an overwhelming sense of praise to God, and for his provision and protection on the whole project,” Mr Bowden said.

It is hoped an open day can be held soon. Until then, visitors are welcome, Mr Bowden said.
