Word of Life Wesleyan Reform Church

About us: Christian Teaching in the North East

The Word of Life Church was established over 7 years ago by husband and wife Pastors; Rev Michael and Lindsey Hedley, as well as Milly and Sid Little.

Michael had a vision from God to plant a new church in Ashington and from this a dozen wells of salvation would be opened in the south east Northumberland area. This vision was supported by over a dozen Christians who after a prayer retreat confirmed this was in God's plan and purpose. The Church was to be one of Christian Teaching for both new and mature Christians in the North East of England and elsewhere. We are a Bible Believing Church and we stand on the authority of the Word of God as thr truth in all matters!

After much prayer and with no advertising we started the church on 27th October 2010. We held weekly Sunday evening meetings from that point as well as Prayer groups and Bible studies and have seen the church grow in 9 years to 10 times its original size.

We have seen many answers to prayers as well as new Christians coming to salvation in Christ.

The Word of Life Church will continue to grow in God's timing and according to His plan and purpose and our focus will remain on preaching the gospel and making disciples in ways which impact our community around us.

We prayerfully seek God for all that we do and are excited about this coming months in which we will be seeking to impact the community around us while proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are normal ordinary people from a wide range of backgrounds, who love Ashington, its people and the surrounding area and seek to ensure that we honestly present the truth of the Bible in its fulness and represent Jesus Christ on this earth as His people.

We joined with the Wesleyan Reform Union in February 2015 and are based permanently in our Church on North Seaton Road in Ashington. We have developed a Word of God based teaching community within the Church as we believe that the Word of God is central to all that we do.

Our Leadership team consists of Rev Michael & Lindsey Hedley (Pastors) MIllicent Little (Elder). Supported by Deacon Olaranke Gdadebo (Toks).

We are a Charity and our Accounts are published on the Charity Commission Website each year.

We invite you to contact us, attend one of our meetings or even just have a chat about Christianity by using our contact form.

God Bless
