About Us

About Us

NB: If you are New to Church you will probably find that section of the website more helpful than what follows here.

Bodmin Road Church opened here on Bransholme in 1968, just as the estate itself was being built. In 2015 we opened a second site serving North Bransholme called The Pennine. We are an Independent Evangelical church with links to New Wine.

We aim to combine practical Bible teaching and contemporary worship with a down-to-earth relational atmosphere where anyone can feel at home. We have a long history of community engagement and a vision to bring the message and love of Jesus to the whole of our estate.

We are affiliated to the UK Evangelical Alliance and we share its Statement of Faith. The Evangelical Alliance has been around since 1843 representing the UK’s 2 million evangelical Christians who are spread across all the major denominations. Although not a part of any denomination, we have very strong links with the rest of the Christian church in Hull and East Yorkshire.

Leadership & Governance

Being an independent church means there is no external denominational control.

Like a Baptist church, we practice congregational government through which our church members have the final say in all major decisions.

Our members elect the Leadership Team, and our Senior Pastor, Richard Bentley, provides overall leadership for the church.

The Leadership Team is supplemented by a wider group of elected Trustees who help to keep an overview of our financial, charitable, legal and safeguarding reponsibilities.
