All About - Calne Town Centre Proposed Plans
2020 Vision
It was early in 2017 Calne Baptist Church sold a field to developers. Land had been in the hands of the church since 1723. Since the selling of the field the church community have been looking at what kind of church God is calling us to be and how the resources received might help make that vision a reality. We are looking at two options. One option is to redevelop our present site, the other, is to offer a development in the centre of town. The town centre development option includes retail space, a community cafe, 8 work units, and a flexible building for worship and community use. All of this is work in progress.
We ask for your prayers and would be pleased to receive your comments and ideas HERE.
