Present Day
The church underwent a major renovation and facelift in 2002-3; side balconies were removed and the rear balcony was extended over the new amenities which included a quiet room, kitchen and a larger welcome area. An office and a new toilet block were added to the exterior of the church on either side of the spire. A baptistry (a tank used for baptisms by immersion) was also added, although the conventional font was retained.
