Ariana, 6 years old, is aiming to run a 2KM park run by the end of April! She is not a keen runner but will put her mind over matter and run for a cause that she loves. Alive City Church is a registered charity on a mission to build a Community Space in Croydon. The Church currently serves approximately 70 children a week and has been a fun, safe and nurturing place for Ariana for 6 years of her 7 years of life!

The Alive City Centre will be a community and worship hub open to everyone, supporting families, empowering young people, and serving the wider community through practical programmes.

This is Project Five14, inspired by Matthew 5:14: “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.”

The Vision

The Alive City Centre will be a place of hope, wellbeing, and opportunity, bringing faith and community together under one roof. The centre will include:

- A state-of-the-art Theatre for the local community groups such as schools and Sunday School

- A cafe and co-working space

- A gym and wellness space

- A nursery supporting young families

- A Digital Academy equipping young people with future-ready skills

- A sports centre for youth development and community engagement

- Therapy and counselling rooms providing emotional and mental wellbeing support

- Spaces for worship, mentoring, workshops, and community gatherings

- A contact centre for children in care

This is more than a building. It’s a legacy for generations.
