St Barnabas Centre, Danesmoor

After the first service the Vicar, Rev’d Matthew Barnes commented, “It was a wonderful occasion with great significance to many people. It’s a fantastic sign that the Church is not dead and has plenty of life to offer.” He went on to explain, “with the experience of members for the old St. Barnabas Church and the energy and vitality of Sanctum I’m confident this church will go on from strength to strength”.

Mark Broomhead, the church’s lay-curate who will be heading up the congregation with Matthew said, “we’re really excited to move into this wonderful facility, I’m looking forward to the challenge of helping people understand God’s love for them in what can be a challenging community”.

The centre itself is a community partnership project which is led by the North Wingfield Team PCC. Besides the church many other community activities will be based in the building including a pre-school group, community groups, and community training initiatives.

The Bishop of Derby dedicated the building in February 2008.
