ReIgnite Church
We are a Christian church who believe that God really loves Blackburn. We're demonstrating this partly by having formed a charity to buy the old Apollo Cinema. We want to restore it into a centre which will be vibrant, diverse, and life-giving. Please see www.exchangeblackburn.org.ukWe are involved in activities with all the main denominations.We provide a school of supernatural ministry.
