Fundraising appeal
For more than forty-five years, the Orthodox Parish of St John of Kronstadt has worshipped in borrowed buildings across Bath.
Today, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a permanent home by purchasing Beechen Cliff Methodist Church.
Our vision is bigger than acquiring a building.
We want to create The Meeting Place:
• a welcoming home for Orthodox worship
• a centre for community life
• and a place where beauty, learning and hospitality enrich the life of Bath
Together, we can preserve an important community building while creating something that will serve future generations.
Fundraising target:
£870,000
Help us to deliver our vision for
The Meeting Place.
Target bid date:
7th October 2026
Please make your pledge or donation before this date.
