Who We Are

We are an evangelical, non-charismatic church with around 60 full members and a congregation of approximately 100 to 150 people.
We are a member of the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches).
The church building is located at the top end of Magnolia Drive, on Greenstead Estate in Colchester, Essex, UK. The church has a history going back to 1963, almost as long as the estate's, and we believe that our purpose is to reach the people around us with the Gospel. The activities of the church are organised with this in mind.
The church is situated about 3km from the campus of the University of Essex and many students live in the immediate area. The church has a programme to link students to families.
