140 Years of history, 1867 - 2007
2007 marks 140 years since Christians first met as Baptists in Melton Mowbray.The original 32 members first met in homes and then public buildings before the first church building was completed in 1876. This first building opened it's doors on 7th May of that year.But in 1992, 15 years ago, a remarkable vision was realised and we moved into our current building on a new site. This was the result of Gods amazing grace in the provision of nearly £500,000 to complete the build. It is always good to celebrate and after 140 years we celebrate Gods goodness and lovingkindness to us. We are thankful to God for His care through the years and, God willing, look forward to an increase in His Kingdom in the years to come. |
