Halloween, is a pagan religious festival. When this tradition started, people believed halloween “was the time of year when the veils between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be at their thinnest: when the spirits of the dead could communicate with the living once again. So, this celebration originated as a way to honour the dead, believing that the dead spirits would come to help their priests predict the future.
You can learn many wonderful things about the world and its people through science, history, and observation. However, you cannot learn the answers to many of the great questions of life from these sources. They do not tell how life began, what its purpose is, and what the future holds.
God is the Creator, the Ruler, and the Judge of the universe. As Creator He has made everything that exists. As Ruler He has certain laws for the good of all His creatures and His world. As Judge He will decide the final reward of men and women according to how they have responded to Him. Since God is your Creator, Ruler, and Judge, you need to know the truth about Him and His plan for you. God is a loving Father, too; He offers you true joy. You need to know Him to enjoy His love and blessings.

About Us
We consider reaching people who do not know God personally to be one of our greatest responsibilities. Our Sunday services are for people at all stages in their spiritual journey.
We are passionate about bringing hope to the hopeless, as we believe hope is to the heart what seeds are to the earth. Without hope life is unfruitful. The word of God tells us in Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
We are a Pentecostal church and part of the Assemblies of God.
The Assemblies of God has been serving the people of Great Britain since 1924. As a movement of churches we believe that Jesus is still working in His church through the power of His Spirit to change people's lives for the better. To this end we seek to build churches that demonstrate God's love to our communities in a practical and relevant way.
In recognition of the fact that we are only a small part of the Universal Church, the Assemblies of God seek to work with the many different expressions of the Church of Jesus Christ in the UK and across the world.

What we believe
At Wythenshawe Community Church
Our beliefs are all taken from the Bible and all are foundational to Christian living. We encourage you to look up these scriptures in order to see why we believe what we believe.
1. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
..and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
2 Timothy 3:15, 16
For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:21
2. We believe in one God, who has revealed Himself in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Deuteronomy 6:4
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Mark 12:29
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
3. We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, miraculous ministry, substitutional death of Jesus Christ, His resurrection, His ascension into heaven and His second coming to bring everyone to account for their lives.
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”
Matthew 1:23
“He committed no sin and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
1 Peter 2:22
“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
Acts 2:22
4. We believe in the fall of man and his separation from God through sin.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:26-31
Also read Genesis 3:1-7 & Romans 5:12-21
5. We believe in salvation through faith in Christ who died for our sins and was raised for our peace with God and victory in the life He gives. Through His blood we have redemption.
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
Titus 2:11
5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:5-7
Also read Romans 10:8-15 & 1 Corinthians 15:3,4
6. We believe in water baptism.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:19
“Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptised with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” So he ordered that they be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
Acts 10:47,48
7. We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is an essential part of the Christian experience, designed to empower for service and witness.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongue as the Spirit enabled them.
Acts2:4
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
Acts2:44-46
When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
Acts19:6
8. We believe that our primary vision is to become like Jesus in all that we think, say and do.
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1: 14-16
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
9. We believe that deliverance from the devil’s authority, selfish habits and oppression is provided through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4,5
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.
2 Corinthians 2:14
The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
1 John 3:8
10. We believe in both heaven and hell and that faith in the good news of Christ makes all of the difference.
And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The Judgment of the Dead
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:10-15
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Romans 1:16
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
Romans 10:14

God shows His wonderful love by giving the very best people to sow into your life. Because you choose to respect and honor them, learning is joyful and you develop and mature in godly perfection! You are being protected and nurtured in godliness. Hebrews 13:17

No plan of the enemy, great or small, will shake your confidence or courage, for you know the God you trust always comes to your defense and wins! Psalms 27:1-3
Because the Holy Spirit guides you in all Truth, you will not be deceived by the lies of the devil.

By the Spirit, you will know those who are true friends and those who are deceivers. Because you are being trained to hear and obey the voice of God you are being equipped in the Power and Might of the Lord! You can recognise the plans of the devil, and also have the strategies to overcome him! The love you have for God empowers you to walk in His Truth and His Victory! Philippians 1:9; John 16:13; John 10:4
You are the chosen of God. He has dressed you in the beautiful garments of His nature. You show forth Jesus’ compassion and kindness. You are humble, teachable and patient in all your ways.

You delight in God and He delights in you. What a joy to know and serve God! Colossians 3:12-14
God has given you a measure of faith. God delights is seeing you live by faith. FAITH says you TRUST God! Living by faith says you believe God’s Word is true, and you choose to depend on it. Faith says, “The God you serve will do what He says He will do! He rewards you as you diligently seek Him!” Your faith causes you to thank God even before you see it happen. Hebrews 11:6
Even though you have a home here, your real home is waiting for you in Heaven. Father God has prepared a home just for you in Heaven. Your real home is more beautiful than a king’s palace. You are called a citizen of Heaven. While you live on this earth, all the good that you do in the Name of Jesus will bring glory to Him. As you continue to serve Him, you are laying up treasure, which the Lord is keeping for you, when you enter your eternal heavenly home. Philippians 3:20; John 14:2; Luke 12:33-34

His care brings you to develop the right fruit in the right season. This brings you to full godly maturity. His goodness abounds in you. The Lord’s glory is upon you! Psalms 1:3
The Lord has fit and joined You into the Body of Christ. In His Body, He has already appointed godly friends for you at every age of your life. The friends He has provided are ones who love and accept you, even as He does. You and your friends love the Lord with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind. This is God’s highest and best for all His children! The friends God has chosen for you are faithful, loyal, dependable, encouraging, truthful, and obedient. Friends are a gift from God because He loves you! You lay down your life for your friends, and they lay down their life for you. Friends are a precious gift and blessing of the Lord! Jesus is your very best friend, who is closer than any other. John 15:13-14; Ephesians 4:16; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24
You have the wisdom of God on how to stop the devil. The devil has no real power in heaven or in earth. God kicked him out of Heaven. Jesus’ death on the cross brought his defeat on the earth. As a believer, Jesus gave you His Power and Authority! As you submit to God, the devil has no power or control over you. None of his tricks or schemes will succeed in your life. You are an overcomer by the Blood of Jesus and the word of your testimony! As you live in the Spirit, obeying the voice of the Lord, you will know the strategy of the enemy.

Luke 10:18,19; Isaiah 14:12-14; Revelation 12:11; James 4:7
The Lord has promised you the Holy Spirit as the COMFORTER, HELPER and TEACHER. He is the One who leads you and guides you in all Truth.

The Holy Spirit empowers you for the work God has called you to do. The Holy Spirit always leads you to Jesus! The Holy Spirit has been given to you. John 14:26
Your heart is full of songs of the Lord! You can sing a new song to the Lord! As you open your mouth in worship; psalms, hymns, and praise come forth, which magnify the Lord!

You have been created to be an instrument of His praise that exalts and thanks Him all the days of your life! You are a true worshiper. Worship brings the Lord’s glory.

Even if you make a mistake, God is always there to help you to make it right. Because God is first in your life, any time you fall, you see how weak you are apart from the grace of Jesus.

As you offer the first fruits of all your increase, more is given so you can keep giving more of all God’s goodness to others. How blessed it is to GIVE! God is more than enough. You have MORE, MORE, MORE than enough because you have God! You GIVE, GIVE, GIVE, because God, GIVES, GIVES, GIVES! How blessed it is to GIVE! Luke 6:38

Psalms 34
In all things you are more than a conqueror through Jesus who loves you! You are certain that nothing – nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable – absolutely nothing can get between you and God’s love because of the way that Jesus your Savior has embraced you. Romans 8:37-39
The Lord is your Good Shepherd. You have everything you need. He brings you rest in the richest places of His presence. By the quiet streams of life He gives you new vitality! Because you are named with His name, every honourable deed is one more way for Him to boast that you are His. Even if death would try to knock at your door, or follow you on your walk with God, no fear will overtake you. The Lord’s strong arm of comfort carries you right through every trial. Right in the faces of your enemies, God spreads a banquet feast that overwhelms the most persistence foe, and he must go! You are filled full to overflowing with the presence and power of God’s awesome love. His blessings flow endlessly. Every breath that you take, every day of your life demonstrates God’s faithfulness, goodness and mercy. Your body’s residence, your soul’s refuge, your heart’s resting-place is God’s house. There’s no place like His place. God is your home. God is your dwelling place forever! Psalms 23

Jesus is more precious than silver, more valuable than pure gold, and more beautiful than a sparkling diamond. He is your most precious treasure. You are His most cherished possession.
