Hope Starts Here!

May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may be overflowing with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit

About Us...

Ignite Church is part of Elim Pentecostal Churches UK. We began meeting in Shepshed, Leicestershire in September 2022 in the living room of Pete and Sarah Benest, but quickly outgrew it. We now meet at Bethesda Baptist Chapel at the entrance to the Iveshead School campus. As a church community we are on an adventure together to spread the good news of Jesus. Our mission is to learn how to let the light and hope of the Kingdom of God shine through our lives, bringing hope, salvation and transformation to people in our local community, right across Charnwood and beyond.

Happy New Year from Ignite Church

2026 is here! Have you been thinking of trying out church? We invite you to join us this year! Everyone is welcome.

Our Sunday services are held at the Bethesda Chapel, Forest St, Shepshed, LE12 9DA.

We start at 10:30am with coffee/tea and pastries, and the service usually gets going by about 11am. This usually includes a time of worship, prayer, communion, teaching, and often a chance to discuss what we are learning together.

We are a friendly, informal bunch, so come as you are and wear what you like!
