Carmel Hadfield is a member of Assemblies of God GB

 

We are a vibrant, welcoming, family church in Hadfield
(near Glossop), of
 all ages and from a variety of backgrounds, engaging in worship, prayer,
Bible study, and fellowship. 
We are passionate about Jesus, and passionate about sharing His love with our local community.

 

We meet to worship God together every Sunday at 10:30am
with a warm welcome for everyone. Our services tend to be informal, with opportunity for people to express themselves, pray, and listen to what we believe God is saying, with a view to living out our lives in the abundant and exciting way promised in the Bible (John 10:10).

Singing and music play a big part in our time together
and we are blessed with a fantastic band of musicians and singers who lead us in our praise, using a wide range of modern worship songs and some traditional hymns (albeit often in a different style than they were originally sung!).

We welcome families into our church and into our worship
and we offer Sunday school classes for different age groups within our Sunday morning service, following a fun programme of age appropriate teaching and activities. We have a dedicated team of Sunday school teachers, all approved by the church leadership and holding DBS certificates.

From time to time we have a ‘café style’ church service
where we invite friends, neighbours and families to share breakfast, worship in different ways, and explore key messages in the Bible. 

We also meet for fellowship on Wednesday evenings 
where we can share, encourage, pray and study God's word more deeply together. 
 

We seek always to learn more about God through His word,
to help and encourage each other to grow and to be better equipped to share something of His heart of love to those around us. We know that God makes a difference for the better in peoples’ lives irrespective of their current situation, and so we want to share our experiences of Him (Psalm 145:4).

 

Sharing God's love with our local community is important
to us, especially through friendship and food.
Our Tuesday Coffee & Prayer Morning, weekly at 10am,
is open to all, and we have a wonderful team of volunteers who provide a monthly mid-week Community Meal and Saturday Community Breakfast. If you join us, you will be sure of a warm welcome and some free and delicious home-cooked food.

 

We are also very blessed to work closely with local group Hadfield Coming Together who run Bellies not Bins, a weekly food distribution service and light lunch open to all on Thursdays, along with other community events including children's packed lunches and activities in the school holidays.


WHAT WE BELIEVE

INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the infallible, and the all sufficient rule for faith and practice. 

UNITY OF THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD 

We believe in the unity of the One True and Living God who has also revealed Himself as One existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 


LIFE OF JESUS 

We believe in the virgin birth, the sinless life, the miracles of Jesus, His substitutionary atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, and the abiding intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in His personal, visible, bodily return in power and glory as the blessed hope of all believers. 


FALL OF MAN 

We believe in the fall of man, who was created pure and upright, but fell by his own voluntary transgression. 


SALVATION THROUGH FAITH 

We believe in salvation through faith in Christ, who, according to the Scriptures, died for our sins, was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, and that through the shedding of His blood, we have redemption.


NEW BIRTH

This experience is also known as being born again, and is an immediate and complete work of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. 


BAPTISM BY IMMERSION IN WATER 

We believe that all who have truly repented and believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour are commanded to be baptised by full immersion in water. 


BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT 

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as equipping the believer with power for service for the Kingdom of God. Biblical evidence of which is the speaking in other tongues as directed by the Holy Spirit. 


GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 

We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Christ in the Church today for the building of His Kingdom.


HOLINESS OF LIFE 

We believe in holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command of God.


DIVINE HEALING 

We believe that God can heal spiritually and physically and that divine healing is provided for in the atonement of Jesus on the cross. 


BREAKING OF BREAD 

We believe that all who have truly repented and believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour should regularly participate in Breaking of Bread 


RESURRECTION OF ALL WHO TRULY BELIEVE 
IN JESUS CHRIST 

We believe in the bodily resurrection and the everlasting conscious joy for all who truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and the everlasting conscious punishment of all whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
