Church bid to expand

The City Impact Church, which has churches in Auckland, Queenstown, Invercargill and Balclutha, is introducing a new chapter into Gore next month.

Balclutha pastors Beven and Liz Taylor are arranging to hold the first Gore service in the Gore Town and Country Club's Esplin Room on Sunday, October 11.

Auckland couple Bev and Peter Mortlock, who founded the church 27 years ago, will attend the first Gore service, starting at 7pm.

About 30 people from the Balclutha church will travel to Gore every Sunday night for weekly services, bringing sound equipment with them.
