Introduction

ECF is one of several christian churches in the East Reading area. It is a large fellowship group of families and friends mostly from the immediate area of Earley and Woodley.

One of our main statements is that we are: 'a house of prayer for all nations.' We pray for christians in many overseas countries as well as in the UK.

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of the word of God among us.

Our focus is the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God. He alone is the saviour of the world and giver of the Holy Spirit to all who obey Him.

Jesus Christ transforms lives today setting men free from themselves and sin to serve the living God.

The church elders are currently Elmur Richards, Paul Moorcroft, Mike Parting and Peter Cowling.
The Mums & Toddlers groups are run by Julie Shuttleworth and Clare Pemberton.
Ladies meetings are organised by Yvonne Medlock.
Peter Cowling is also responsible for the youth meetings.
Steve and Rachel Blackburn run the older youth club, while Adam and Liz Browne run the younger youth club.
See the Contact page if you would like to get in touch with any of them or anyone else in the church.

The church caters for all age ranges: toddlers, young people and families, young adults and older people and some families with students at university.

Young people

The young people meet on Friday evenings in term time for various club activities and outings, such as ice skating etc.

Teenagers have their own praise and worship meeting on Sunday evenings at 7:00pm in '153' house.

On the first Sunday each month we have lunch together after the morning meeting. On other Sundays an invitation is usually given to someone's home for a meal and fellowship.

We welcome visitors to all our meetings (see the Calendar page for times).
