In 1878, Holy Trinity Church opened its doors to serve the people of Loughborough. Nearly 150 years later, the building still stands — a testament to faith, heritage, and community.
Now, RCCG Cornerstone Parish has the opportunity to restore this beautiful, historic building to its original purpose as a house of worship.
By joining the Heritage Walk, you are helping us reclaim sacred ground, honour the past, and build a future where generations can once again worship in this timeless space.
Vision for Restoration
Our vision is to restore the former Holy Trinity Church not only as a historic landmark but as a vibrant, Spirit-filled home for worship, discipleship, and community outreach. We believe that reclaiming this sacred space will serve as a powerful testimony to God’s faithfulness and provide a permanent base for RCCG Cornerstone Parish to grow, serve, and impact generations to come.
We see this building as more than bricks and stone — it is a symbol of continuity, spiritual heritage, and kingdom purpose. Once restored, the building will be used for Sunday worship, youth and children’s ministries, Bible studies, prayer gatherings, leadership training, and local outreach programmes that bless the wider Loughborough community.

Community Unites to Reclaim Historic Church Building Through Heritage Prayer Walk
Loughborough, UK – On Saturday 5th July 2025, local residents, church members, and heritage supporters will lace up their walking shoes for a cause that blends faith, history, and community. The Heritage Prayer Walk, organised by RCCG Cornerstone Parish Loughborough, aims to raise vital funds to purchase and restore the former Holy Trinity Church building—a landmark structure built in 1878 and rich with architectural and spiritual significance.
After more than a decade of worshipping in rented venues, RCCG Loughborough has agreed an offer to buy the beautiful Grade II listed building, ensuring it continues to serve its original purpose as a place of worship and community engagement.
“This is more than a property transaction,” said Pastor Chuka Duru, parish Pastor at RCCG Loughborough. “It is about honouring the spiritual heritage of our town. Holy Trinity Church has stood since 1878 as a place of worship and refuge, and we feel privileged to help ensure it continues to serve that purpose for generations to come.”
Walk Details
The walk will cover key historic churches across Loughborough, including All Saints, Emmanuel, St Peter’s, and culminate at the Holy Trinity site. Participants will stop to pray, reflect, and honour the town’s spiritual heritage.
The church is seeking 50 volunteer walkers, each aiming to raise £500 through their individual JustGiving pages. Walkers do not need to be RCCG members—only people who care about community, heritage, and faith. After the walk, participants are invited to a time of refreshment, prayer, and testimony.
