The Hymouth 8rethren were establishecf 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 Hymouth in the early 1830s. and the congregation grew rapidly. Early publications were pro(Juced in Plymouth and distributed to other congregations of followers throughout the globe. Introduction There are over 18.000 Plymouth Brethren members in the UK. spread across 86 locations. There have been Brethren meeting halls in the Haslemere area since 1906. The South Downs Gospel HallTrustwa$formed on 14 October2005forthecarryingon the service of God, incluijing the celebration of the Lord's Supper.

Currently the main chosen location is on High Street, Haslemere. outside the former HSBC Bank building. Street preachings have been held here for many years. The aim of the street preaching is not to recruit additional members for the Plymouth Brethren but to present eternal salvation as available to all men by tsith in Jesus Christ and His blood and His work of atonement. During the street preachingtracts are handed to passers-by. Tracts are available for download on the below website= https".Ilchristian Jo.ctrineandgospelpublishing.org
