Bible-pattern Church Fellowship




Differences of opinion regarding church governance eventually led Jeffreys to withdraw from what later came to be called the Elim Pentecostal Church and form the first Bible-Pattern Church Fellowship in Nottingham . Many other local churches were subsequently founded in various parts of Britain.

Theologically, it can be seen as an offshoot of the Elim Pentecostal Church and, in terms of doctrine was similar, except for its espousal of the doctrines of British Israelism . It was for some time popular in the 1940s and 1950s , attracting many adherents to an annual Convention in London's Royal Albert Hall .

It suffered a serious decline in numbers in the later years of the 1960s and no longer exists as a separate entity, its main church, Kensington Temple, having become the central London church of the Elim Pentecostal Church.
