A Warwick church has made an application to the Planning Department to convert its basement into a meeting room.

The New Testament Church of God, Cedar Hill, Warwick has sought permission to change the basement storage area, into a multi-purpose facility.

Although pastor Eugene Joell said it had not yet been approved, he described the plan as ?a little extension to the church?.

Rev. Joell said the Cedar Hill church was a ?small place? and the new room could be used as a Sunday school or where ?young people could hold a fellowship on Friday nights?.

Although he said it would be too small for weddings, he hoped the extension could be used for either a simple cup of tea after worship, or serve in a more formal setting as the meeting place for the ten Warwick ministers to hold their monthly meeting.
