About Us

Introduction

Deva Church was started in March 1964 by a group of Christians who moved to North Wales from the West Midlands. The Church was originally set up along the lines of an Open Brethren Assembly but over the decades we have developed into what can be described as an Independent Evangelical Church.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Leadership

Being independent, the Church is run by its Members who through prayer and consultation recognise a group of leaders, called Elders, to serve the Church and co-ordinate its activities as guided by the Holy Spirit. We also appoint Deacons to assist in the running of the church, and Stewards to help in building maintenance and service preparation.

The current Elders are: David Phillips and David Jones.

The current Deacons are: Jon Dunningham (Music); Anne Dunningham (Treasurer); Eileen Hannan (Missionary).

The current Stewards are: John Clements (Building) and Jeff Cowan (Services).

--------------------------------------------------------------

Deva follows the example given in the Bible in Acts 2 v 42 where the Church 'devoted themselves to The Apostles' Teaching, to Fellowship, to The Breaking of Bread (Communion)and to Prayer'

The Apostles' Teaching

The Church believes in The Bible as The  Word  of God as originally written down and inspired by The Holy Spirit. Therefore, all we do and believe is based on The Bible and we encourage ongoing Bible Study and Ministry.

Fellowship

We meet regularly for fellowship, and visitors are welcome to come and join us at all of our meetings. Sunday is when we have our Family Service where we meet to worship in Song, Prayer and Bible ministry.  We also have a weekly Prayer and Ministry meeting on Tuesday evenings which often includes reports on Missionary work throughout the UK and The World.

Check out our 'What's On' page for more details.

Deva believes in 'the priesthood of all believers' and so we encourage everyone to use the gifts God has given them, whether this be in ministry, music, organising or in using practical skills.

Communion/Breaking of Bread                                                                  

Every Sunday the Church meets to celebrate Communion which we call 'Breaking of Bread'. 

All who love The Lord Jesus are invited to share in this meeting as we eat bread and drink wine (or fruit juice) in remembrance of His sacrifice on our behalf, as He commanded.

Prayer

The Church encourages everyone to pray to God individually but we also meet together for regular times of Prayer, mainly at our Tuesday evening meeting.

We always pray to God the Father, through Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Deva Church is a Registered Charity with the Reference 1152350.
