EASTMOOR
Our vision and the story so far
​
We have a vision to see people across Wakefield given real hope for this life, and for eternity, through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Bible shows us that this happens through local church communities and so we're committed to the ‘planting’ of new churches and supporting the renewal of existing ones.
At the end of 2018, Wakefield Evangelical Church stopped meeting in their building on the Eastmoor housing estate after a period of decline - they had faithfully proclaimed the gospel there for more than fifty years!
The congregation therefore gave us their building and our vision has since been to see a church 're-planted' there. Our focus for Eastmoor is now to recruit leaders, and a team, to re-plant a new local church with a focus on Eastmoor and the immediate surrounding areas to the east of Wakefield city centre.
About Eastmoor
Eastmoor is a large housing estate in the east of Wakefield. It's a large, diverse, multi-cultural area close to the city centre. With a number of new housing developments being built, the population is growing quick too. Eastmoor is full of people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life with one thing in common - their need for the gospel!
What's happening now?
​
We're now holding services in our Eastmoor building every Sunday at 4pm.
We're starting small and slow but we have great hopes for sharing the life-changing news of God with even more people in Wakefield.
