This looks like a converted industrial unit. The gates and the high hedges are quite symbolic -- "keep away" is the message that the church as a whole gives out. It is a very closed community. Casual visitors are not encouraged here -- there is no information given about services, you have to ring a number to find out more. You then only get an invite if you are considered worthy of one. Most people probably wouldn't want one anyway.
