be bigger in our community

make more impact nationally and

a big way?

It’s the next step in our 100-year BHC journey
We must address clear, pressing Church Needs
Unique Short-Term Opportunity regarding the rectory
"Let us arise and build." So they
put their hands to the good work

What Is It?

500+ people

Where Is It?
Proposed location is existing rectory
• BHC buy existing rectory from Diocese
• Diocese buy new rectory close by
• Must meet strict criteria
Existing Busbridge Church would remain
• Untouched heritage building
• In regular use, integral part of new ‘campus’
We have a very rare, short-term opportunity

What They’re Saying
It's always wonderful to hear of churches outgrowing their buildings, as
they seek to bring the love to Christ to the communities they serve. I will
be watching the development of these exciting plans with great interest
and excitement.
…Rt Rev Andrew Watson, Bishop of Surrey
it is the natural place for the church to expand and provide for the
community and it would be a real benefit to our children
…Carolyn Holmes, Head Teacher, Busbridge Junior School
When you reach the edge of the waters,
go and stand in the river
