A church plant on the Norfolk coast, a spiritually barren region with few churches, is now in its second year and looking for co-workers and more leaders.

Grace Church North Norfolk in East Runton began in Summer 2023 with six former members of Cromer Baptist Church. After almost 120 years, Cromer Baptist had been facing potential closure for several reasons, including an ageing membership. It relocated to a former Methodist building in East Runton in 2018.

Families joining

At the start of 2023, a new family arrived, followed by a second family. A decision was soon made to reconstitute the church and trust the Lord to build it. More people began to attend, including four children which gave the church a fresh sense of life. The church was formally constituted in July 2023 with the support of the FIEC.
