Introduction

The Longcroft Christian Fellowship (named after the house where we meet) began in the late 1960s. As one of the earliest House Churches our desire was to express the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ in everyday life, and meeting informally in a home was a significant expression of that value. We remain a home based, family orientated church.

Congregation

Our congregation is taken from many different walks of life and covers a full age range. We currently have about 120 adult members although we do not maintain a formal membership roll as such. In addition we have a good number of children plus a few students living away during term time.

Leadership

We are completely dependent on lay ministry and the church is lead by a team of three elders and three deacons. The elders are Dr David Vine, Mr Bryan Dowley and Mr David Meeten.

Worship

We practise open worship and encourage the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. Our music comprises a mixture of both traditional hymns and modern worship songs.

Teaching

Regular and challenging expository Bible teaching is central to our meetings. Our desire is to see everyone "rooted and established in Christ".

Activities

We have a full range of activities for all age groups. Please see meetings & events for further details.

Facilities

We have on site parking at the church. Facilities for the disabled include a hearing aid loop and an accessible toilet.
