Chance conversation leads to church gift of £10,000

‘A lift for Narberth’ is more than a building project. It sums up the church’s vision, says Phil Prosser, senior leader of Grace Church.

Narberth is a small but growing market town in south-west Wales with a lively shopping centre, arts and cultural scene, a very active community life, and a charismatic evangelical church with ‘high hopes’ for its future mission in the community.

Central to that vision is a former police court that was purchased in the 1990s as a base for outreach and community activities. Following the pandemic, and the church planting in the nearby holiday resort of Saundersfoot, they began to pray about the court’s future use and came to the conclusion that it was central to its mission, even though it would need extensive renovation. It would also necessitate the installation of a lift.
