A CHURCH that has recently celebrated its 100th anniversary will not rest on its laurels, as pastors look to continue to work on community outreach.

Eastney Evangelical Church in Methuen Road, Portsmouth, has celebrated its 100th anniversary, having opened all the way back in 1918.

The first service, held on June 22, 1918, saw just eight adults and a handful of children attend.
