Barnabas Community Church is an independent, charismatic evangelical, Church in Shrewsbury, England, and is in many ways a product of the UK British New Church Movement. It is part of the Newfrontiers〔(Newfrontiers – A Worldwide Family of Churches Together on a Mission )〕 family of churches and a member of the Evangelical Alliance.〔(Church Search )〕 ==History== Barnabas Christian Fellowship was founded in 1983, after the Crowmoor Baptist Church outgrew its building at the time.〔http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/crowmoor/〕 The initial group was about 80 strong. Restricted by only having limited capacity in meeting rooms above a pub, as the church grew, it separated into two congregations for a three-year period. In 1993, the two congregations reunited and began meeting together at the Wakeman School〔(Wakeman School Internet Home Page )〕 with a clear sense that a new "home" was needed. In 1996 Barnabas formally became part of Newfrontiers, an international family of similar churches. In 1999 Barnabas formally adopted a cell group model for church life,〔(CELL GROUPS - Barnabas Community Church Shrewsbury )〕 having been inspired by teaching from Ralph Neighbour〔(TouchUSA.org )〕 and organisations such as Cell UK.〔(CellUk: Home )〕 About the same time the Alpha Course was adopted and has been run twice a year since then.〔(Barnabas Community Church | Alpha UK )〕 In 2001 the name of the church was changed officially to Barnabas Community Church. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barnabas Community Church, Shrewsbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
