Church of Our Saviour - Questionnaire

Building for the FutureThe Church of Our Saviour, your local Church in Chelmer Village, is growing and we are thinking about expanding our buildings and are seeking your views as we plan for the future.

 

We are an Ecumenical church with the Church of England and the United Reformed Church working together with the Roman Catholic Parish of St Augustine of Canterbury, to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to our local community. Our modern building is used by many different community groups throughout the week offering activities for all ages, as well as being a special place for Christian worship.

 

As Chelmer Village itself grows with new houses and families moving in, we are finding that the buildings providing worship space and the facilities that they offer to the village, are in need of urgent development. We have already begun to prepare to extend our buildings but would, in this early stage of our plans, very much value the opinions and thoughts of the village community of which we are an everyday part.

 

Please could you spare a few minutes to answer the following questions overleaf and return them to us as soon as possible.

 

Very best regards to all.
