Owlerton Evangelical Church is an independent congregation of Christians meeting in an area of the city of Sheffield close to Hillsborough. We welcome all people to our services and meetings, regardless of age, background or any other consideration.
Christ-centred
As a congregation we seek to give pre–eminence to the Lord Jesus Christ in all that we teach and practise. What we believe about the Lord Jesus can be found on the link to our Beliefs page. In our congregation you will meet different people who all have one thing in common – that they have personally come to know Christ as their Saviour. Some were converted as children or teenagers, others came to know Christ in their middle or retirement years. As a congregation we take seriously Christ’s command for us to love God and love our neighbours whoever they might be.
Bible-based
The Bible is the source of everything that we believe and teach at Owlerton Evangelical Church. We believe that every word of the Bible, as recorded in the original manuscripts, is “God breathed”. So when we read the Bible we are reading the very words of God Himself. The preaching and teaching of the Bible is central in all our services and meetings. All members of the church accept the Basis of Faith that you can find on our Beliefs page. The Eldership also hold to a further Statement of Faith in the historic 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. As a church we are not ecumenical, but we do seek fellowship with all other churches which, like ourselves, are Bible–believing.
Active
As a congregation we seek to take seriously Christ’s command to ‘Go into all the world and make disciples of all men’. Apart from activities based around the church building, we seek to supply and distribute helpful literature into the neighbourhood and, in the warmer months, set up a ‘Stand of Witness’, close to the local shopping precinct. In addition we actively support a number of causes, who faithfully take the Biblical Gospel to men and women in various parts of the world, as well as within this country.
