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.

Correspondents included J. Alex Forrest +1936+, James Hunter, Sr. +1941-1967, David E. Holdsworth 1967-1971, and W. Bowser @ N. Weldon 1972-1973. 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.
