We often, rightly, emphasis that the Church is the people not the building. God does not dwell in temples built by human hands! (Acts 7:48). However, Churches need somewhere to meet! (especially in the UK’s unpredictable climate). Newer Churches don’t have historic buildings, listen to Darren and Andy talk about the challenges plants and young churches face. There is also some interesting good news on that front from Oxford.
