Glyndley Manor is renowned for its warm, family like atmosphere and is set in the beautiful countryside of East Sussex, near the south coast of England. As well as running longer-courses such as Explore and Impact, and many other courses. Restoration Weeks also offer another retreat style option for those wanting to step out of the world to receive healing and hear God’s voice for their life.
For many who come here, Glyndley becomes a home away from home! Small enough to make you comfortable but big enough to enjoy the privacy needed for a healing journey with Jesus.
Our vision and heart at Glyndley focuses on ‘Restoration’ and ‘Family’ by providing people with a safe place to allow God to meet with them personally so they can receive the healing and restoration they need and to equip and train the church to minister to others.
There are a wide selection of courses available, some that are teaching based on subjects such as marriage, relationships and leadership. Our other type of courses are less teaching based and more of a retreat style programme. Unique to Glyndley, we use our homely setting to provide a place set apart for guests to “do business with God”, and is somewhere to listen to God’s word of healing or direction for their lives.
We look forward to welcoming and serving you at Glyndley.
In 1991, Glyndley Manor was purchased by the Christian Trust for the southern extension of the work of Ellel Ministries. The Manor itself was first built in the 16th century during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558 to 1603). William the Conqueror landed in England about 3 miles east of Glyndley in the most memorable of years, 1066. Over a century before, a Royal Charter of King Eadred (947) refers to ‘three hides of land at West Hankham and Glynleigh.’ Reference is made in a list of ‘dissenting congregations’ in Sussex, dated 1715, to a Presbyterian congregation of 110 meeting at Glinley near Hailsham.
There are also 34 Holiday Cottages on site, which came under the management of Ellel Ministries in 2000. These were built in 1978 and are part of the vision of what God had in store for Glyndley Manor. Several alterations have been made to the Manor since 1991: conference room extension, building bedrooms, the lift and accessible toilets (2013) and the creativity centre (2018). The Manor is only a few miles away from the south coast of England, with a wealth of beautiful Sussex countryside readily accessible.
Here at Ellel Glyndley we run a varied range of courses: We run EXPLORE which is a series of weekend courses designed to train and equip God’s people through a journey of transformation.
In addition, we host special Restoration Weeks. These weeks are ideal if you desire to go deeper with your relationship with God. They include teaching sessions, creativity workshops, fellowship, and opportunity to receive personal ministry. We offer a range of topics for you to choose from.
We are also running Impact, originally done at Ellel Scotland. It is primarily designed for those who want to be further equipped to minister to people in need of the healing touch of Jesus.
We then have a full calendar of weekend courses, Healing Retreats and free events for you to choose from. As well as the events held at the centre, we have some special offers available to pastors and leaders, to provide refreshment, rest, and restoration.
Glyndley Manor offers some longer residential courses, ideal for those that want to go deeper into their Christian walk. Glyndley runs Ellel’s popular Explore course, which is held over a series of weekend events, and our Impact 20-day course. We hope you can join us.
