Beacon Church, Pheasey
Beacon Church is a church located in the area of Pheasey, serving the Pheasey and Park Farm communities. The church stands on Collingwood Drive and is part of the Anglican tradition while also maintaining a partnership with the local Methodist congregation. It was formerly known as St Chad’s Church.[1]
Beacon Church is situated at the junction of Collingwood Drive and Hillingford Avenue. The building replaced the earlier church hall used by the congregation and was designed to serve both worship and community functions.
The current Vicar at the church is Chris Lane.[2]
History
Christian worship in the Pheasey area began during the post-war expansion of the housing estate. Before the present church building was constructed, congregational activities were held in a temporary church hall, commonly known as "The Hut". Plans for a permanent church were developed during the 1950s and early 1960s.[3]
The church building was completed and consecrated as St Chad’s Church on 24 October 1964. It became an important centre of worship and community life for residents of the growing Pheasey estate.[4]
In the early 21st century, the church underwent refurbishment and was renamed Beacon Church, reflecting a renewed emphasis on community outreach and mission. The church continues to preserve its historical connection with St Chad while operating under its new identity[5]
Other information
In 2025-Onwards the church has ongoing renovations such as the opening of 3:16 cafe. 3:16 standing for John 3:16 in the bible. A space at the centre of our community to come together to relax, chat and get to know people who live around us. 3:16 cafe was apart of the church's misson and vision plan to invest in young people and the community.[6]

Over the last couple of years Beacon Church has been undergoing a revitalisation church plant. A lot has changed already but we also have a lot more to do. As part of this we have developed a mission statement (why are we here?), a vision statement (what we want to look like in the future) and a 3 year strategy (how we’re going to get there). We hope that these will give us direction and help us work together to be part of the mission that we have discerned God to be working out in our local community.[7]
