A Message from Our Senior Pastor
Ministry Begins Beyond These Walls
Welcome to RCCG New Wine Assembly. I am delighted to welcome you to our website and to introduce you to the heart of who we are.
RCCG New Wine Assembly is first and foremost a Christian charity, rooted in faith, prayer and service. Our belief in God inspires us to love our neighbours, care for the vulnerable, support families, encourage young people and contribute positively to the wider community.
While our foundation is Christian, our community work is open to everyone. We serve people of all faiths, no faith and all backgrounds. We do not believe compassion should have boundaries.
Whether through food support, health awareness, youth engagement, cost-of-living assistance, community safety, sport, wellbeing projects or practical guidance, our aim is to respond to real needs with dignity, respect and kindness.
As Senior Pastor, I see ministry not only as what happens within the church walls, but also as what we do outside them.
