What We Believe

We seek to glorify God through praise, obedience to his word and Spirit-filled living as we support one another, and reach out to our communities and to the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We want people to hear the Good News about Jesus Christ:

We will seek opportunities individually and together to tell as many people as possible the life changing news of Jesus.

We want people to believe the Good News about Jesus Christ:
‍
As self-centred people we need to turn to God and put our trust in Jesus. Then as believers we need to grasp our new identity in Him.
We will apply our minds to understanding the Christian faith as revealed in the Bible so that we might serve Jesus wholeheartedly.

We want people to follow Jesus Christ:

We will encourage one another to grow in our relationship with God by using our gifts to serve one another.

We will equip every Christian to serve Jesus faithfully for a lifetime, training men and women to be more like Jesus. We will depend on the Holy Spirit in our daily living and speak about Jesus in a needy world.

Our History

Since the beginning of Fullbridge as a church, people have come to trust in Jesus and have begun a journey with him at the centre of their lives.

Fullbridge Church has its origins in the Brethren movement which started around 1830. The movement exploded during the second half of the 19th century, and independent churches sprang up all over Britain.
‍
One of the characteristics of the movement was its passion for mission abroad and evangelism at home. Although the individual congregations were independent, by the beginning of the 20th century they recognized the need to co-operate to promote outreach, and one organisation which supported evangelistic efforts in England was “Counties Evangelistic Work”.
‍
This was very fruitful in reaching more towns and villages with the gospel, and in 1922 a ‘Counties’ evangelist, Samuel Glen, brought a tent mission to Heybridge, pitching it next to the canal.
‍
As a result of his preaching (and singing!) twenty-six people were converted and baptised and started to meet together as Christians. At first they met in rented rooms, but in due course they felt the need to have a building of their own, to meet the needs of the congregation and to serve as a venue for gospel activities.
‍
A plot of land was obtained in a central location and in 1937 the new building was completed and given the name Fullbridge Gospel Hall. In 1991 the name was changed from Fullbridge Gospel Hall to Fullbridge Evangelical Church.
Today we are an all age family who continue to care equally for those not in church as those that are.
