Hebron Pentecostal Church and Christian Centre.

Actually means community, fellowship, or even place of refuge. We
believe that the family of God ought to show the way in every aspect
of society, from the love of God shown practically in meeting one
another's needs to enjoying the relationships that spring out of
such a community.

The fellowship is known as a pentecostal church. This is taken from
our belief in the present day reality of the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, referred to in Acts 2 verses 1-4. Because this took place
on the Feast of Pentecost, the name has stuck.

What does the word church paint in your mind? Perhaps an archaic
building with dirge like songs promoting a boring religious system,
totally irrelevant to your life? Church can be different. The
Church we see in the New Testament is vital, exciting, compelling,
and totally relevant to every aspect of life. What makes a difference?
Hebron Pentecostal Church is a growing group of local families from
all walks of life, from doctors to shop assistants, factory workers
to directors, babies in prams to senior citizens: all working praying
and worshipping together in a community based upon a New Testament
pattern of church life.
For the purpose of fellowship, we are associated
with Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland, which is the
fastest growing denomination in the world.
The British Assemblies was formed in 1924 as a fellowship of locally
governed churches and during 77 years of evangelism and church planting
has grown to over 600 churches. It has, however, a world-wide impact
far beyond its modest size.
Assemblies of God is part of the Evangelical Alliance. All the
doctrines of the Christian faith which are regarded as orthodox,
we accept. For example, we hold to the Apostles Creed. We are Trinitarian.
The ground of membership is that a person has a public and credible
profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. We accept
the doctrine of Believer's Baptism, and a service of infant dedication
as distinct from infant baptism.
We are developing a full programme of meetings geared to the needs
of the membership as well as the needs of the neighbourhood.
