Gospel Hall is the name used for their buildings by certain fundamentalist Christian groups, sometimes referred to as the Gospel Hall Brethren, although they usually refer to themselves as the "assemblies". The name was created in the 1880s although the assemblies had been in existence prior to this.

The Christians of the group believe that the word "church", as defined through the context of the Bible, means the group of true Christian believers all over the world, both dead and alive, since the time of Christ. Other Christian denominations use 'Church' (often with a capital letter) to denote a similar concept, but also allow other meanings for the word. As such, they did not believe the word "church" should refer to the building they met in. The term "Gospel Hall" was chosen to denote the emphasis on Gospel preaching that is done in the building.
