A planning application has been submitted to turn empty buildings, standing between a theatre and a museum, into a church. The collection of buildings was previously a nightclub and will be known to a generation of Bradford revellers for nightspots including Revolution, Tequila and Vibe. The Bishop of Bradford says the new place of worship will be known as Fountains Church due to its location overlooking the City Park fountains, and it will be a ‘focus point for faith in Bradford.’ The application also includes a kiosk in the square that was used as a cafe. The kiosk will be used as a short term base for the new church while the initial works in the larger building are completed. The church will take up 2,930 square metres and create a new presence in the city centre for its large resident student and business population.’ The aspiration is to establish a substantial congregation which can meet and worship there. A decision on the application is expected in late August.
