Grace Fellowship Manchester

Christ-centred, gospel-preaching church. Grateful that God's Word is being preached and that attendees are encouraged to live lives conformed to it. Also grateful brothers and sisters to seek and honour the Lord Jesus Christ with in prayer, fellowship and evangelism.

What was the name of the service?2pm Sunday ServiceHow full was the building?Between 25% and 33% full.Did anyone welcome you personally?Not to begin with, but then two people did as we were milling about.Was your pew comfortable?Not for the full 2.5 hours.How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?Warm enough. A little lively, but simple.What were the exact opening words of the service?“OK let’s get started.”What books did the congregation use during the service?The bible.What musical instruments were played?Piano.Did anything distract you?Some noisy children at times.Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?19th Century Presbyterian / reformed type of style. Simple and conservative.Exactly how long was the sermon?The Texan pastor went on for 1hour 17 minutes and 32 seconds. At about the 45-minute mark we could sense he had run out of material, but he then spent the next 30 minutes circling looking for some place to land.On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?We scored him: 3, 5 and 6.In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?The prophet Jonah and God vindicating his name, but there were many themes and a graphic description of ancient Ninevehite brutality.Which part of the service was like being in heaven?The cupcakes afterwards.And which part was like being in... er... the other place?The length of the sermon.What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?We were taken for coffee.How would you describe the after-service coffee?Very good, especially the home made cupcakes.How would you feel about making another visit (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?We rated it as 0, 2 and 3. The sermon was particularly painful.Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?The three of us responded: 1: Yes and No. 2: Yes. 3: No.What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time ?Graphic descriptions of how the Assyrians destroyed their enemies to a church full of children. The thoroughly American style of worship.Final thoughts: Even though we didn't enjoy the service that much, we loved the cupcakes and the pastor made one of the most memorable impressions on us. We loved how American he was, and how devoted he is to his Church. May God bless Texas, and Grace Fellowship Church!

A bible centered church that preaches the true word of God and Christianity. Would highly recommend this church to anyone seeking to know the Lord. Brothers and sisters that make you feel welcome and are very supportive. A preacher that confronts your sins and encourages you to walk ina way that is pleasing to the Lord. I have been attending this church and was recently baptised there and I thank the Lord for leading me to it. Come and see for yourself

Christ-centered, Gospel-centered church. So thankful the Lord brought me to this fellowship. It has helped me to grow in grace and learn what it really is to live for Christ. The brothers and sisters are such a blessing. Please if you are reading this now and contemplating whether to come..... don't hesitate. If you are a true believer in Christ, or even someone lost who is genuinely seeking the truth.... then you have to come. If you are living or even just staying in Manchester for a few nights, come along and join us. God bless. S

Grace Fellowship Manchester is simply outstanding! Pastor Tim Conway is an amazing Bible teacher who challenges his church members to grow in their faith and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. There are many other teaching and prayer activities also through out the week too. The church is very welcoming and friendly. I would encourage anyone looking for a new church home to come and see for themselves. I personally can’t wait to go there each Sunday!

I am so very thankful that the Lord brought me to this church for the first time in 2010. It's been a turning point in my Christian life as a young believer looking for a sound biblical church. From the time I attended GFM I have grown so much in my walk with God and my understanding of Him and the Gospel. Praise be to God for all His numberless blessings!

This church fellowship is a genuine church. The pastor Tim preaches a clear gospel message and teaching that is for practical Christian living.Me and my family are thankful for being able to come to this church for a number of years now and have benefited greatly.

A church that preaches the Bible with church members living by the Bible. When first visiting, I felt welcomed and found the members to be supportive. My experience since then has confirmed this, and the unity between people there is shown beyond the Sunday service. I would encourage anyone to visit, knowing that you too would be welcomed.

This is a church with excellent teaching & warm fellowship with members who are committed to supporting each other. For anyone who desires to increase in faith and knowledge of God I can easily say I don't know of a better place in Manchester.
