We are so glad that you've found us!

We believe that the closest we will ever get to heaven on earth is when we gather on the Lord’s Day in the presence of our Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, to worship him. We meet, we read the Bible, we sing, we pray, we share in fellowship and above all we hear the risen Christ speak to us through the preaching of his gracious word. To find out more, please watch our welcome video below.

About us

We are a gathering of believers united in our love for Christ, where all are welcome to come and join us for worship, where we hear the Word of God preached faithfully. We confess the Reformed Faith as outlined in the 1689 Baptist Confession, holding to holy scripture as the only certain rule of faith and practice and seeking to glorify God in the town of Ramsbottom.

  • Adam: Son of God?
    In this short video Richard Barcellos discusses the importance of of allowing scripture to interpret scripture. What does it mean for Adam to be called "the son of God" in Luke 3:38—when Moses never used that phrase in Genesis? This video explores how subsequent revelation in Scripture often makes explicit what was implicit in earlier texts. Through the theological principle of the analogy of faith, we demonstrate why interpreting Scripture with Scripture is essential for sound doctrine.

  • Abortion Conference: The Clarkson Academy June 2025
    During his 1785 journey to London, Thomas Clarkson penned his thoughts. He had just won first prize in Cambridge for his essay “Is it lawful to make slaves of others against their will?” “On returning however to London, the subject of it [the essay] almost wholly engrossed my thoughts. I became at times very seriously affected while upon the road. I stopped my horse occasionally, and dismounted and walked. I frequently tried to persuade myself in these intervals that the contents of my Essay could not be true. The more however I reflected upon them, or rather upon the authorities on which they were founded, the more I gave them credit. Coming in sight of Wades Mill in Hertfordshire, I sat down disconsolate on the turf by the roadside and held my horse. Here a thought came into my mind, that if the contents of the Essay were true, it was time some person should see these calamities to their end. Agitated in this manner I reached home. This was in the summer of 1785.”

  • God’s Word reaching the furthest parts of the world
    The Nenets are the largest group of the Samoyed peoples. They live in north-western Siberia as well as the Arctic Ocean islands and the Kola Peninsula. It is a land characterised by the tundra – a country of permafrost, numerous rivers, and vast marshy areas. The climate is extreme, with snow falling up to 260 days a year and temperatures falling to as low as -50 degrees Celsius in the winter. Yet the Nenets need to hear the Gospel. In the 18th century, the Russian Orthodox Church sent missionaries to the area. Later the Gospel was brought to this remote people group, but many continued to hold on to their animistic beliefs. Today there are some Nenets believers in village evangelical churches, but most live in the tundra.

  • Assisted suicide Bill returns to Commons May 16th – please pray
    The Christian Institute writes: Friday 16 May, MPs will again debate Kim Leadbeater’s extremely dangerous assisted suicide Bill. It is no overstatement to say this is a matter of life and death. Should this Bill become law, doctors would legally be permitted to help adults deemed to be terminally ill to kill themselves. In November, MPs voted by 330 to 275 in favour of advancing the Bill to the next stage. Many felt there ought to be more scrutiny, or increased safeguards, and backed it at Second Reading for that reason. But many of them will not be happy at the way the Committee has handled the proceedings. Hundreds of reasonable amendments to try to make the legislation less dangerous were rejected, and already limited safeguards were stripped away.

  • Port Erin Induction Service
    It was with great joy that a number of our members, along with a couple from Charlesworth, joined with the folk from Port Erin Church and others from across the Isle of Man on Saturday 10th for the ordination & induction of Enoch Adekoya to the pastorate. The weather was gorgeous and the fellowship was equally warm as we celebrated Christ's goodness to the church in providing them with a minister of the word of God. Please join us in giving thanks for this joyous gift, and praying for both minister and congregation as they begin a new season in the life of the church. As we heard preached on the day, may they become an edification church as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15.

  • Geoffrey Muketi Internship Report
    Geoffrey Muketi is a student from Pokot North who is training for the ministry at the Trinity Pastors' College in Nairobi. He writes: Mzee Keith visited me at the church premises, and we had a long and inspiring conversation. He shared about his ministry dating back to the 1960s, and how he is still actively laboring for the Lord today—ministering to saints both locally and internationally. His example reminded me of apostle Paul’s tireless labor, and deeply challenged me as a young aspiring minister. He offered wise private counsel, especially noting that “serving the saints is not easy—especially when dealing with their daily personal struggles.” I thank God for his visit and the wisdom he shared. Our TPC March module concluded this week. We now prepare for the next class with a new lecturer, Ben Carlson, who will be teaching Introduction to Old Testament: History and Theology. I thank the Lord for helping me complete the assignments for the previous class. Please pray for God’s grace and insight in the coming module.

  • The Value Of A Godly Mother
    Some of the most useful servants of God throughout history owe a great spiritual debt to their mothers. The great fourth and fifth century church leader, Augustine, had a violent, unbelieving father and a godly, faithful, Christian mother. It was the tearful prayers of his mother, Monica, that God used to arrest him from his profligate ways as a young man and turn his heart toward the grace of God in the gospel. Similarly, John Newton, the author of “Amazing Grace,” was raised by a godly mother and ungodly father. From his mother he learned to memorize hymns, catechism answers, and Scripture, all before she died when he was seven years old. It was those early lessons that God brought back to his mind as a young man and used to save him from a life of slave trading and debauchery.

    Gospel ministry is demanding and training must prepare men for every task it entails. Through robust courses from the best pastor-scholars with first-hand experience in serving the Bride of Christ, International Reformed Baptist Seminary prepares men to serve churches in the United Kingdom and beyond.

  • Vietnamese Christian Family Forced To Flee Their Home
    It was the middle of the night when Long* and his wife, Ha*, woke to shouts from their village elder. “Go! Leave the village right now or we will destroy your house!” Their Christian faith meant they were being forced from their home. In their Vietnamese community, following Jesus was believed to enrage the animist spirits. When Long and Ha refused to leave, a mob tore down their house. Please pray: For Long and Ha to be encouraged to persevere in their faith; That the gospel would spread in their community and many would turn to follow Jesus; For Open Doors partners as they seek how best to serve Long, Ha and displaced believers facing similar ordeals.

  • Killing thousands could save NHS millions, Govt estimates
    Funding the deaths of thousands by assisted suicide could save the NHS millions of pounds, an impact assessment has predicted. A Government appraisal of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill estimates that within ten years of it coming into effect, there will be between 1,042 to 4,559 assisted suicides in England and Wales, saving the NHS up to £59.6m per year in “unutilised healthcare”. In its current form, Kim Leadbeater’s controversial Bill would allow patients deemed to be terminally ill and with less than six months to live, to receive help to kill themselves. MPs are set to debate her proposals again on 16 May, and the Bill could face its final vote in the House of Commons on the same day.

Overseas / Missions

Trinity Grace Church has supported overseas missionary ministries for many years. We first began our involvement in the early 1970s and since then have expanded our gospel outreach to a needy world. We believe it is the responsibility of local churches to engage in this ministry, and we have rejoiced to play our part in the building of God’s kingdom throughout the world.
