Who are we?

We are a group of people from different backgrounds. In our meetings you will find young and old, singles and families, people from various trades and professions, with different hobbies and interests, skills and education and from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Yet we have one thing in common: our lives have been changed by God through Jesus Christ. We all want to live for God and please him rather than ourselves, because we have all had an eye-opening experience of his great love.

Special Announcements

The Leadership

Our leadership consists of a Pastor (or minister), and people called Elders and Deacons. They are just a group of ordinary people, both men and women, who serve God by assisting the pastor in leading the fellowship. Most have jobs outside the church as well.

Currently, there are two elders and seven deacons who meet regularly with the pastor to pray and make decisions concerning the fellowship's work in Westhoughton, Britain and beyond. The deacons include the Church Secretary and Church Treasurer.

Links with other Churches
The fellowship is affiliated to the
Assemblies of God
(a worldwide group of Pentecostal Churches)
and a member of the
Evangelical Alliance
which is a national association of Pentecostal, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist and many other denominational groups of churches.
We are also members of Westhoughton Churches Together as we join in making Jesus Christ known in our locality

Why are we called Pentecostal?
Pentecost is a Jewish festival, also called Shavuot meaning weeks. It was the first Pentecost after Jesus had risen from the dead that the Holy Spirit was sent from God to the Church. We believe that the Holy Spirit still lives and works in the church as much now as he did then. He does so by living and working through every member of the church, in other words in everyone who has invited Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Saviour.
