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 are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ and recognise Him as Lord of the Church and of our lives.
Christians have met at Manvers Gospel Hall for almost 150 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.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US
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

If you are not yet a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are very welcome here. We want you to find out more and come to faith in Christ for yourself. Come along to one of our regular activities and we would love to talk further. The Hope4Bath service on a Sunday at 17:00 is normally the best introduction.
