“A mission centre to make Jesus known”

Binscombe Church were stuck. They had plans to demolish their old church building, making way for a brand new one. But nine years in, they had hit a wall. The process was overwhelming, and discouragement had set in as they tried to navigate a world of construction they knew little about. Pete Hitchcock, Minister of the church, said:

“I went to Bible college to learn to teach the Bible, not how to run a construction project – we knew we needed help!”

That’s when they approached a property expert to come alongside them who understood both the requirements of a church property project and the church’s vision.

They introduced the right professionals into the process at the right time, helping them to manage risk well. They provided guidance on the selection and appointment of experienced project managers who led the church through the construction tender process and kept the project on track. The property expert also helped secure just under £500k of match funding, making the project possible after years of struggling to get the money together.

The church family were delighted to move into their new building in November 2025. Pete comments:

“What is now so exciting is that we have a wonderful facility, a home for our church family and a mission centre to make Jesus known for years to come.”
