Located on the A247 (Broadmead Road) this used to be Cartbridge Congregational Church and dates from 1875. By the early 1970's the congregation was no more and the building became derelict. Then a group of evangelical Christians purchased the building and opened their church here on the 30th May 1974. The church though independent is a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC). Member churches, according to the FIEC website, believe that "the Bible as originally given is in its entirety the Word of God, without error and fully reliable in fact and doctrine". This is interpreted, for example, as prohibiting women being pastors and same-sex marriage. Image
