Church to expand

The leader of a church which launched less than four years ago said rapid growth means they now need to further increase capacity.

Luke Baldwin, a senior leader at Presence Church in Hanley said they had achieved about a third of their £150,000 target in four months towards renovations.

The church is now based on Trinity Street, in the telephone exchange which has also previously seen a life as various bars and restaurants including Fat Cats, The Exchange and The Werkroom.
