"In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God

through the Spirit."

(Ephesians 2:22)

Manchester Bible Church is an Independent Bible Church establishing a testimony for our Lord Jesus Christ in the Manchester New Hampshire area.

In April of 2001 a small group of believers meeting in Manchester, NH had a desire to be a witness and a testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ.  They contacted the Bible mission EICM International (Evangelistic Independent Church Ministries) in Mount Joy Pennsylvania seeking help.  The following year this group began to meet at the Hillside middle school for weekly Bible study and prayer.  In September of that year, the Lord answered this group's prayers and led John and Jennifer Peront and their two children to Manchester to visit these dear believers and to get to know them.  In October the Mission and the group extended a call to the Peront family, and they began to serve and minister to this Bible study group.

The Lord blessed and in March of the following year the group began to hold regular Sunday and Wednesday evening services at the Hillside school.  The Lord continued to bless this group of believers, and they began to reach out holding summer Bible clubs and going door-to-door telling people about God's grace in establishing this ministry.  As this assembly grew spiritually and numerically, they faced a number of challenges.  In the summer of 2004 the group had to move out of the Hillside school because of construction, and they were only in the McDonough elementary school for two months before they were told that they had to move again.  The group was able to meet at the Jewett Street school on the east side of the city and remained there for two years waiting on the Lord and looking to Him for guidance and direction.

Through the faithful, expository preaching of the Word of God, He has blessed this assembly, adding to it both those who have come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and those who have been looking for a church willing to stand in God's truth (doctrine which is established on and rooted in the fundamentals of the the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints).  As this assembly continues to grow, it is our sincere desire to keep our eyes firmly fixed on our Savior, the risen Lord Jesus Christ.  We believe that His blessing will continue as we look to and faithfully follow Him!
