Holy Trinity Formby unveiled after half a million pound make over

The church has completed it's four-year project

Holy Trinity Church in Formby has been transformed after a half a million pound make over.

The 120-year-old Church has been re-opened with a relocated entrance and new facilities after a four-year fund raising project to improve the main building.

Members of the congregation raised over £600,000 to pay for the works - which include a new mezzanine floor, toilet facilities and a more accessible, relocated entrance.

Mark Stanford, Vicar at Holy Trinity has applauded members of the congregation for their generosity.

He said: "A Church is not the building, it's the people - but we do believe the building has to be fit for purpose.

"This has been a number of years in the planning by many many folk and what's happened here has been made possible by their generosity and their willingness to give to something which is going to be transformative.

"We're hoping as well as being a worship centre, we want it to be a place for the people for Formby to use. We're hopeful that Holy Trinity will be a great resource for the community."

The Bishop of Liverpool Paul Bayes visited the church when it opened and said he was 'delighted' by the transformation.

He said: “It’s been great to visit and be warmly welcomed to Holy Trinity today.

"I am delighted to have visited at the point when building work is complete and I can witness the fruit of so many people’s labour.

"I have said that if we are to be a bigger church making a bigger difference then we need buildings that are fit for mission and fit for purpose.

"I thank God for the vision of the people of this place and their ability to see the vision come to fruition.

"I pray God’s blessing on this place that it may continue to be a building that helps the church reach out to its community whilst serving as a place of sanctuary and worship.”
