Scott Drive Church, Exmouth, officially opened its new building extension on September 21.
But the church’s real agenda is to see God’s kingdom extended in this seaside town. Founded in 1966 by a retired minister who saw the need for an independent church with strong biblical foundations, years of valiant effort by many did not seem to be bearing fruit until recently. Then God blessed the congregation with increased numbers and several conversions.
Lee Emerson, the pastor since 2006, told how the Lord had enabled the church to raise funds required to build the extension. He expressed his hope that the new entrance would indeed serve as a ‘life-gate, that all may go in’, as in the words of the hymn ‘To God be the glory’ that was sung at the close of the service.
