Opening — Wall Heath Evangelical Free church

Official Opening of our New Building Saturday 9th April 2022

Our new building was officially opened on Saturday, 9th April 2022.

We held two services, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The services were attended by members of the congregation, the Trustees and other invited guests, including our local MP, Mike Wood, some local councillors, our Architect John Hardie, and the CEO of Mayway Construction, Nigel May. A number of former members of the church, many of whom grew up in Wall Heath, returned to celebrate with us.
