Community could lose its church

An FIEC church serving four social housing estates in the North-East of England could be forced to relocate unless money can be raised to buy the building it has been renting.

New Life Church, Middlesbrough, has been meeting in Ormesby Methodist Church Hall since 2014 but the owners no longer need the site and are putting it up for sale.

New Life’s pastor, Ian Williamson, said: ‘Although our church is quite small, with around 25 regulars on Sundays, we have contact with almost 100 people each week through our outreach activities. We use the local library for some of our work but the majority takes place in the hall.’
