We’re a group of people who love Jesus and love each other. We gather together on Sundays each week and faithfully serve our vibrant Bristol community through a variety of projects, initiatives and services. Each of these is to enable everyone to get to know the love of Jesus and allow us to show His love overflowing through us.

STEPHEN & ANOUSHCA MCEWEN

Our Senior Pastor, Stephen, is married to Anoushca and came to E5 in 2016. Having previously been Associate Pastor at City Gates Church in London for several years, they saw the Church there grow rapidly, with many coming to faith. Steve was ordained with Elim in 2011 and gained a Master in Applied Theology. Anoushca is a Vidal Sasoon-trained hairdresser and former Manager of Toni and Guy she keeps us all in shape managing the Church office, and her experience in Youth and Children’s work, as well as managing Community projects, is invaluable at E5. Both Stephen and Anoushca became Christians in their early 20s from difficult circumstances; they love to see people encounter Jesus and experience the abundant life he promised.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

FOURSQUARE GOSPEL

E5 Bristol City Church is part of a group of churches & one charity: Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance. Tens of thousands attend Elim churches every week. While the congregations range from small groups to some of the largest in the UK and Ireland, all our members share a set of beliefs known as our Foundational Truths. The Foundational Truths explain our theology and are a statement of faith – they are powerful, non-negotiable and guide all we say and do

We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.

We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and His second advent to receive His Church.

We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement, the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.

We believe in the universal sinfulness of all men since the Fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

We believe in the necessity for salvation of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.

We believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ and that these comprise the universal Church, the Body of Christ.

We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.

We believe in the baptism of believers in water in obedience to the command of Christ and the commemoration of Christ’s death by the observance of the Lord’s Supper until His return.

We believe that the Gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the Gospel to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.

We believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked.
