Opening your church as a cool, welcoming space!
As our summers become warmer, many are looking for somewhere comfortable to rest and take refuge from the heat.
Churches have long been places of welcome and sanctuary, and opening your doors during hot weather is a simple way to continue that tradition and support your community.
If your church is not usually open during the day, this could be a great opportunity to connect with local people. Before opening regularly, it’s worth speaking with your insurer. Many insurers, including Ecclesiastical, offer guidance and support, which you can find here, and regular opening can even help reduce some security risks.
