About us
We are an independent local church consisting of people from a variety of backgrounds.
We have one thing in common - we know our sins forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ, and recognise Him as Lord of the Church and of our lives.
Christians have assembled at Manvers Gospel Hall for well over 100 years but it is the people, not the building, who are important. It was founded by Christians who wanted to follow the teaching of the New Testament of the Bible as closely as possible, worshipping and serving God simply and effectively through their obedience to God’s Word.
As a scripturally constituted local church, we hold as vitally important our belief in believers’ baptism by immersion and the priesthood of all believers. The spiritual care of the church is overseen by a number of recognised elders.
We are people of many different ages and backgrounds. Together we seek to live out the teachings of the Bible and to share with others the good news about the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that by dying on the cross, He made it possible for God to forgive our sins so that by believing in Him, we can look forward to heaven when our lives on earth are ended.
This belief is summed up in the words of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John’s Gospel chapter 3 verse 16
Please use the links to have a look at the various activities we have at Manvers. We often have special events on, so don't miss out.
What we believe
The historic teachings of the Christian faith, accepting the Bible to be God's inspired Word for us today, and attempting to base the whole of our lives upon its teachings.
God is the Creator of heaven and earth and all living things.
God has revealed Himself to us through the Bible and pre-eminently through His Son, Jesus Christ, the only Saviour and Redeemer of men.
Though there is one true God, yet He exists in three co-equal persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus is the co-equal and co-eternal Son of the living God, an intrinsic member of the Triune Godhead. We hold to His true and sinless humanity, His sacrificial death, bodily resurrection and ascension to the right Hand of God.
Man was created by God in His image and likeness, without sin. Adam sinned by breaking the law of God and as a result his race fell. Everyone of us has fallen short of God's standards and faces the inescapable eternal judgement of God.
Though God is just and so must punish sin, He is also loving and willing to pardon sin on an absolutely just basis through the substitutionary Cross-sacrifice of His Son.
Despite all the good we may do, we cannot undo the sinful wrong we have done by deeds of remorse or any form of good works to bring us into favour with God. If we are to be saved from judgement it must be through the compassion and mercy of God alone.
God, in love, sent His only-begotten Son, the Lord Jesus into the world, to become man and take the punishment of sin upon Himself.
Our only hope of Heaven therefore is in trusting Christ personally for salvation. As believers we await the personal, imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to the air for His Church and His subsequent return to earth to establish His kingdom.
As a local church, established in scripture, we are made up of believers who have been baptised by immersion, who gather together for worship, instruction, fellowship, and service. The pattern for our local church principles and practice is clearly taught in Scripture. This includes the autonomy of the local church, the diversity of spiritual gifts, the distinct function of men and women and the weekly remembrance of the Lord Jesus at the Lord’s Supper.
