Lincoln Heights Gospel Chapel was an open brethren assembly that was founded between 1927-1936, known by the latter year as Mansfield Gospel Hall, and rebranded as LHGC by 1948. It met +1936-1947 at 25 N. Mulberry St., then at N. Mulberry & Orchard Sts. +1943-1947, then to 536 Kentucky Ave., all in Mansfield. It either folded in the early 1980's and sold their building, or it may have rebranded as Grace Evangelical Free Church which initially met in the same location.

Subsequently in 1959, a different open brethren assembly was founded by Norman Crawford, also known today as Mansfield Gospel Hall, of which David Calderhead, of the former MGH 1940-1947+, may have been an early influence in the newer meeting.
