SPACE RACE FOR CHURCH

They’ve been growing, moving and building at Christ Church Central, Sheffield!

On Sunday September 7, Christ Church Central relocated its Sunday meetings to a new venue in the heart of Sheffield city centre. The Workstation is a conference centre adjoining the city’s popular Showroom Cinema. The move is the latest response to a decade of steady God-given growth, as the church has met in a primary school, a nightclub, a former Brethren meeting hall and a Scout hall since its launch in 2003.

Outgrowing the premises again

Planted with 50 adults from Christ Church Fulwood in the western suburbs of Sheffield, Christ Church Central now has a regular attendance of over 200 across two services on Sundays, including more than 40 children. The church owns the aforementioned ex-Brethren hall (Egerton Hall) and uses it for midweek activities, but has repeatedly outgrown its various Sunday meeting spaces, prompting the leadership team to pray and search for a new venue in the spring of this year.
