- **Event Name**: The Beacon Centre | Opening Celebration Service
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: You are invited to Join us as we gather with joy and gratitude to celebrate the opening of our new church building, The Beacon Centre.  This special service is an opportunity to thank God for His faithfulness and to dedicate this space for His glory — as a place of worship, prayer, welcome, and mission for generations to come.

We will lift our voices together in worship and hear God's Word shared by our guest speaker, Andrew Ollerton, author of The Bible Course and a Spring Harvest Speaker.  Come and celebrate all that God has done, and commit this new season and this new space into His hands.  We will also take time to celebrate and give thanks for all those whose prayers, generosity, service, and faithfulness have helped make the fulfilment of this vision possible.

After the service, everyone is warmly invited to stay and continue the celebration with cake and refreshments.  We will be welcoming longstanding supporters, honoured guests, and friends from across the years.

Please sign up to let us know you are planning to come: https://christchurchbaptist.churchsuite.com/events/ldmp5sjo

You're very welcome to come early and explore the building. From 10am–1pm, we'll be opening our doors to the local community with a BBQ, bouncy castle, face painting, refreshments, tours, and craft activities for all ages.
