BUILDING FOR GROWTH
Welcome to our Building for Growth Page
We are coming to the end of this phase of the project and we would love your support. Our desire is that many more people in our city and beyond would come to hear the good news of Jesus in these renovated, city-centre buildings.
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 began the work in the Spring of 2023 and we are now approaching the finish line. The new Welcome Building is close to completion and we are seeking to raise the final amount to breathe new life in our 18th Century Chapel.

100 FOR £1,000 APPEAL
We are seeking to raise a final £100,000 from friends, family, alumni and other gospel partners to help us finish this phase. We are praying that 100 supporters to give £1,000 each to help us reach this target. This final £100,000 will be used specifically on our 18th Century Chapel. We would love to use this money for the following key aspects of the project:
To install a brand new audio-visual system for the chapel that will enable every person to hear the word of God clearly and to see everything that is happening.
To carry out essential external repairs on the chapel in order to fix the leaks and make it fit for purpose for many years to come.
To renovate the inside of the chapel including replastering and repainting the walls and restoring and re-upholstering the pews. This will make the space far more light, welcoming and comfortable for guests and church family.
