About Us

Melrose Christian Fellowship is a dynamic, lively pentecostal church with its roots in the Church of God of Prophecy.

Started by Pastor Philip Keeble and his wife Evadne in the late 70s, the church has remained in the heart of the community in Popley ever since.

Melrose is diverse, consisting of  members from all over the world and from the local community.

We are a passionate bunch that desire to: grow in our faith and our relationship with God through The Lord Jesus Christ; grow in our knowledge of God's Word (The Bible); and to live it out to see our local community (and beyond) impacted with the good news of Jesus.

Meet The Team

Philip and Evadne Keeble

Philip is the senior Co-Pastor at Melrose. Him and his wife Evadne moved from SE London in the late 70s after God called them to ministry in Basingstoke and they soon established Melrose Christian Fellowship. Evadne oversees the Praise and Worship team and is an integral part of the ministry at Melrose.

His wife Rhoda co-leads the youth and is also the church administrator. She is one of our worship-leaders and a gifted singer.
