Bethel Church Stonehouse

Bethel Church was begun as the result of an evangelistic and divine healing campaign, conducted by Pastor Edward Jeffries in October 1929. Pastor Jeffries at that time was being used mightily by God in the healing of the sick, and bringing many souls to Christ thousands thronged the meetings, and Stonehouse was no exception.

People were attracted to the simple gospel preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and many local people were healed. About 300 people came to Christ, and Bethel Church- a building not then being used by the owners, Wycliffe College - became available. The new converts worked hard to make it an attractive and comfortable building to worship in.

Great meetings followed, and the church was established under “The Bethel Evangelistic Society”, later becoming affiliated with “Assemblies of God of Great Britain & Ireland”.

Bethel Church has continued under a number of pastors who all worked hard to make it, under God’s blessing, a continued blessing to many. The church has rejoiced to see many being saved through the years, and those who have children have seen them grow up in the church, later giving their hearts to the Lord - some going out to other places to be used actively for the Lord.

The church today is growing steadily. In 2003 we embarked on refurbishing of the building, and increasing it’s facilities. The church enjoys good facilities in it’s own building on the main street in Stonehouse.
