About
Ford's Lane Evangelical Church
What we believe
The
church at Fords Lane is a company of people who have received Jesus
Christ as Saviour and Lord. All who belong to Christ are members of
"the Church ... which is His Body". We therefore receive as members
all who declare their faith in Christ and whose godly behaviour is evidence
that they belong to Him.
We acknowledge no spiritual head other than our Lord Jesus Christ and
we are not responsible to any organised group or denominational body.
We are one of many similar churches throughout the world and have much
in common with all true Christian churches. Our beliefs are those taught
in the Bible which we accept as the inspired Word of God.
All of our services are
public and everyone is welcome to attend.
Leadership
The church is led by our Pastor, Jonathan Dawson,
and a group
of Elders (including the Pastor), who are together primarily responsible for the spiritual well-being
of all who attend our services. They work with a dedicated team of
Deacons
who also look after the buildings and deal with other practical matters.
Our
services are led by the Pastor assisted by different members of the congregation and
occasional visiting
speakers. In addition, we
have an Honorary Church Secretary, and an Honorary Treasurer.

Other Information
We practice baptism of believers
by immersion. Infants may be brought for an act of dedication and thanksgiving
during one of our normal services. Our regular communion services are
open to all who love the Lord Jesus and know Him as their Lord and
Saviour.
We have close relations with Christians in many other churches and are
active participants in "Churches Together in Bramhall and Woodford".
Fords Lane supports the Churches Together project The
Mill.
Love the Lord your GOD
with all your HEART
and with all your SOUL
and with all your MIND
and with all your STRENGTH.
Mark 12:30
