Our History
Our Church traces its origins back to 1975 when a
group of believers began meeting in Castletown. In the early 1980's a plot of land in
Port Erin was purchased and our current building constructed which has
subsequently been extended.
With assistance from the European Missionary
Fellowship our first pastor, Pastor Brian Jones, was called to the Church
in 1990. Over the next 16 years
Pastor Jones worked hard to build up the Church. In December 2006 Pastor
Jones was unexpectedly called to Glory after a short illness. In February 2007, we called longstanding
member and Elder Phil Lo Bao as the next Pastor.
Apart from two Sunday services, we hold regular
meetings for children and young people, a monthly Friends & Neighbours
meeting (mainly for senior citizens) and undertake evangelism in the
locality. This includes regular
distribution of leaflets, door to door visitation, open air work and other
occasional events such as Harvest suppers, quiz nights etc. At all of these the message of
forgiveness of sin through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is
explained. We believe in the vital
importance of prayer and hold three prayer meetings most weeks.
