About Grovely Gospel Chapel

Who we are ...

We are a group of Christians who meet at Grovely Gospel Chapel. This Christian fellowship has been functioning for over 40 years, and it is still growing.

The congregation is composed of people of all ages, from the very young to retirees. To cater for this age range, a variety of activities are organized. There are also many functions which the entire congregation is invited to attend. At these general functions, you will find members of all ages conversing and participating together, working together in the work of the Lord.

The elders of this Christian assembly ensure that the Church is taught from God's word, the Bible, as reflected in our Statement of Faith. This teaching is conducted in a caring and loving atmosphere. Bible messages are regularly presented at the Sunday morning service and at the Sunday night service. Other special gatherings for either fellowship or the study of God's Word are occasionally organized.

Regular prayer meeting are held in the homes of various Church members.

Our Purpose Statement

For people to SEARCH out the Lord
and STUDY the scriptures.

To equip people to SERVE their neighbors
and the community

To create opportunities to SPEAK the Gospel

To encourage people to SHOW
obedience in Baptism

This purpose statement has been based on the following verses:

Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'

Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

Our Statement of Faith

The Bible in the original manuscripts is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and is our sole authority for doctrine and practice.

The Godhead exists and consists of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

The Son, Jesus Christ, was and is eternally God: one with the Father and the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit exists as a personality in His own right, and was and is eternally God

In the beginning, God in His Trinity created all things and for His pleasure all things exist

In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve sinned against God and by their sin brought death and misery into this world. All people are now born in that state of rebellion against God.

The Son, Jesus Christ, was born into this world becoming truly human yet remaining truly God.

The death of Jesus upon the cross was to effect the redemption of a person from sin. That death was real, and he was buried in a tomb. Salvation from the penalty and power of sin is obtainable only through that death and resurrection.

Jesus rose from the dead, body, soul and spirit, and now lives for evermore as Lord of the living and the dead.

Because of the substitutionary power of that death and resurrection, the Gospel is to be preached to every person, calling all to repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.

Those believing in Jesus Christ as Lord are called to a life of good works.

Baptism and the Lord's Supper are two ordinances of the church. Baptism is that of believers only and is by immersion. The Lord's Supper is commemorated by believers on the breaking of bread, emblem of Christ's body, and the drinking of wine, emblem of Christ's shed blood, until His second coming.

Jesus Christ will come again physically to gather His own to himself, to live with Him in a state of eternal bliss.

Believers look for the resurrection of the body, when such body shall bear the characteristics displayed in their risen Lord

After the return of Jesus Christ for His own, he will judge the living and the dead.

There is a hell to be shunned, and which will be the eternal existing place of those who refuse the Gospel of our Lord.
