Fundraising appeal

For more than forty-five years, the Orthodox Parish of St John of Kronstadt has worshipped in borrowed buildings across Bath.

Today, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a permanent home by purchasing Beechen Cliff Methodist Church.

BC Church

Our vision is bigger than acquiring a building.

We want to create The Meeting Place:

• a welcoming home for Orthodox worship

• a centre for community life

• and a place where beauty, learning and hospitality enrich the life of Bath

Together, we can preserve an important community building while creating something that will serve future generations.
