About Us

The local church meeting at the Randalstown Gospel Hall is a fellowship of baptised believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not belong to a denomination or sect, but meet in His name alone, seeking to own the Lordship of Jesus Christ, being answerable to Him and not any religious authority.

We believe that the Bible is, word-by-word, the inspired Word of God. The Bible is God’s complete revelation to us of Himself, and the final authority for faith and practice. We seek simply to follow its teaching and gather following the pattern of the early New Testament churches.

What do we Believe?

All our beliefs are based on the inspired Word of God, the Bible. Please view the below details which outline what the Bible teaches on a range of vital subjects.
