Welcome
We are a Christian congregation, which exists to serve God and one another. Our Faith and worship aims to be living, vibrant and relevant to today's world, with it's varied issues and challenges.

We seek to provide a variety of services to our community in our town centre situation, and alongside other churches to offer our premises allowing everyone to benefit from their use.

Our hope is that all who come will find friendliness, openness, and opportunities to serve, as well as to receive. Above all it is our prayer that something of the love, peace and presence of God will be the experience of everyone who enters our premises.

Potted History

The modern Ebenezer was built in 1922, replacing the original Church, the foundations for which were dug by local people in 1822.

A refurbishment was undertaken in 1986 to make the building more suitable for modern useage and this has proved very successful.

The building now has a beautiful worship area, together with a modern kitchen and hall. This helps Ebenezer to make make use of our special position in the heart of Halifax, and to be of service to the wider community.

We are currently planning a further enhancement of our building to provide even more facilities for our members.

 

Worship

Our Sunday services are held at 10.30am. A warm welcome awaits everyone who comes.

At 6pm each Sunday there is a 'Worship that Rocks' service held by the Halifax Central Church. Both before and after this service there is a social time for people to meet and talk and eat together.

Each Friday there is a short service at 12.15pm, which is held during our 'Coffee Pot' lunchtime.

We celebrate Communion each month (see our plan for dates)

Community Outreach

On Friday lunchtimes (10.30am 'til 1.30pm) we hold our weekly 'Coffee Pot lunches. Here we serve meals prepared and served by our members, and the many people who regularly come say how good the food is, what good value, and what a great time they have!

Have you been yet? We will be very pleased to see you there!

 

Pastoral Care

Ebenezer has a pastoral visiting scheme, which means that everyone associated with the Church is allocated a pastoral visitor. He/she will visit from time to time and ensure you are up to date with all the Church events, and that any needs you may have are supported.

Baptisms and Weddings

These are available by arrangement with the Minister.

 

Parking

Although we are in the town centre there are usually many street parking places nearby at reasonable cost, (free on Sunday!) including a car park for 25 cars just 30 meters away.
