The history of the church:
In 1946 after the war the houses that had been occupied by American soldiers became available to buy and so new families moved in and Pheasey Estate was established. The area flourished with new schools, shops and 2 churches Pheasey Methodist Church and St Chad's Parish Church.
Everyone was starting afresh and so a community working together soon developed getting to know each other through children growing up and parents wanting to help one another. The estate developed and a community centre flourished along with youth activities at both churches.
This sense of belonging has continued through 3 and 4 generations and the churches have continued to play a part in the community. There have been many changes and in 1995 with the LEP of St Chad's Church and Pheasey Methodist Church Beacon Church was born. More recently Kingsway Fellowship, a small group from the Evangelical Church is using our premises for worship.
Although the congregation has aged the sense of belonging continues. During services we share in prayer and singing together. Intercession prayers are led by members of the congregation and bible readings are taken in turn by the members. Our service is followed by tea and coffee where we catch up on the week's happenings. During the week this continues with a monthly Coffee morning open to the community. A Dementia Café meets monthly, as well as a 50plus group recently moved to the church premises from the community centre. There is also a Yoga class and Slimmers World group using our premises.
Along with youth groups Girls Friendly Society, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows and Brownies there are good connections with the 2 local primary schools using Beacon Church for Xmas and Easter concerts. Messy Church welcomes all children once a term. A small Brotherhood group originating from the Methodist church still meet every Tuesday evening to enjoy table tennis, dominoes, and a time of devotion with hymns and prayers and a short address led by its own members.
