Building Project

In June 2005, Staplehurst Free Church embarked on an adventurous journey to demolish and completely rebuild the church building, at and estimated cost of £1.4million.

The church members realise that the building is an important focal point for the spiritual, health and social well being of the local community including church members and friends. But the current building is no longer sufficient, in terms of capacity, design and structure to properly support the needs and purposes of the church and local people.
