A redundant Catholic church building is becoming home for a Grace Baptist church.
Formerly the St Michael of Tours Catholic Church in Lydd, on Romney Marsh in Kent, it has been bought by Living Hope Bible Church, a small church serving the towns of Lydd and New Romney.
Living Hope Bible Church was established by a small group of Christians nearly ten years ago, and constituted as a church in 2011. They met in a number of places, including an industrial building, until they hired a village hall in nearby Hythe in 2013, which became home for Sunday worship for seven years. The church joined the Association of Grace Baptist Churches (SE) in 2018, and have been encouraged by their help and advice.
