members of the congregation, acting under the directions of the trustees and
with their full active encouragement, have continued with "outreach. work which
they have carried out for many years
The Salisbury Gospel Hall Trust Public Benefit

The purpose of this factual presentation, is to show how the Salisbury Gospel Hall
Trust community engage in many acts of public benefit and interact with the wider
community in so many ways.
The Plymouth Brethren were established in 1828 when John Nelson Darby broke
with the established Church in Dublin. Darby and others formed a fellowship based
on the strict observance of Christian teachings as set out in the Holy Scriptures.
Darby came to Plymouth in the early 1830s and the congregation grew rapidly. Early
publications were produced in Plymouth and distributed to other congregations of
followers throughout the globe.
Introductlon
There are over 18,000 Plymouth Brethren members in the UK,
spread across 87 locations. These locations can be found on
the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC} UK Site.
The Salisbury Gospel Hall Trust Public Benefit

There have been Brethren Gospel, or meeting halls in the Salisbury and
surrounding areas for over 150 years.
The Salisbury Gospel Hall Trust was formed on 13th July 1982 to acquire buildings
to be used for the advan￿ment of the Christian religion by carying on the service of
God, including the celebration of the Lord's Supper, Gospel Preachings, Bible
Readings and addresses on the Word of God and other meetings of a Christian
religious character according to the injunctions contained in the Holy Scriptures and
the tenets and practices of those Christians forming a worldwide fellowship known
as Plymouth Brethren.

Street Preaching and Tract Distribution
Street Preaching
Street Preaching has been actively promoted by the Plymouth Brethren for many
years, at least from the 1950's, and today is enthusiastically supported by members
of the Salisbury Gospel Hall Trust congregation. as we seek to follow the example
set out by our Lord Jesus Christ (Luke ch4 v17-20)
The essential activity of publicly preaching the name of Jesus and God's wonderful
Gospel indiscriminately, gives joy and encouragement to our daily lives; as having
personally proved the tangible benefit and immense improvement believing in Jesus
brings, we seek to highlight the availability of Jesus to all mankind.
Currently the main chosen location is on the junction of Queen Street and Fish Row
in Salisbury and at other city centre locations. Street preachings have been held
here since the 1950's.
Romans 10v13,' °For everyone whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord,
shall be saved"
The aim of the street preaching is not to recruit addltional members for the
Plymouth Brethren but to present eternal salvation as available to all men by
faith in Jesus Christ and His blood and His work of atonement.
Tract Distribution
Members of the congregation have continued to hand out tracts to neighbours and
people in need when they have met them.
Tracts are available for download on the below website."
