Brief History
Barnabas was a real Christian mentioned in the Bible. His name means ‘encourager’, and it seems this saint was a significant builder of community life in the early church, reaching people through his practical faith. This example still forms a potent inspiration for the church dedicated to his name in Emmer Green today.
Always a prominent local landmark, the first St. Barnabas Church building was constructed in the latter part of the 19th Century in the form of a corrugated iron mission church. This is still used as the present church hall and has just been refurbished. |
