About us - Reeth Evangelical Congregational Church

We are a group of people in Reeth and the surrounding area who have come to know Jesus Christ personally as Saviour and Lord. We have found in Him real purpose for this life and real hope for the next.

Our desire is that other people, by putting their trust in Christ, might also experience the presence of God in their lives.

We believe that Christianity is the truth about God and about life and that God speaks personally and directly today through the Bible.

Under normal circumstances, Sunday services are at 11am and 6.30pm. A weekly Bible Study and Prayer Meeting takes place at 7.30pm on Tuesdays in the schoolroom at the rear of the church. Meetings for ladies are held on alternate Monday afternoons and evenings. Please note that not all meetings are currently running.

Visitors are very welcome at any of the meetings and services. Please check the Diary page for details as times and venues may occasionally differ.

We are an independent church linked to the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches and to other like minded churches in the area.

Our minister is Rev David Levell.

This week’s message is from Steven St John, Chief Executive of Daylight Christian Prison Trust which exists to share the Gospel with prisoners, to support prisoners during their sentences and to provide practical post-release support to reduce the likelihood of reoffending.
One of our deacons, John Little, is a Prison Ministry Associate and Trustee with Daylight, and visits various prisons as a Daylight volunteer. This message will be distributed to many prisoners throughout the country. John and his chaplaincy colleagues personally deliver around 60 of them every Sunday to men in one of our local prisons.
