All the services the church offers are completely FREE of CHARGE. We are a church organisation and everything and every service we give is entirely free We a church whose main purpose is not to distribute foods and aids to service users in the community. We are a church like Church of England, Catholic, the Baptist, etc and we have several hundreds of members as congregation. We have a membership of about 5-600 in the Fountain Gate PIWC District alone. The membership is a mixture of people of various levels of social standings that include the poor, socially disadvantaged, immigrant families who have not recourse to public funds, the jobless, single parents, older people, widows, and widowers, the physically and sensory impaired, etc. All these people are in the church that we support daily with the provision of food and finances. It is not difficult to identify them because we live and fellowship with them. Another category of people we support are in the community. We do our own collections of food, clothing, money and other unperishable items and send to homeless people in the streets and homeless people’s shelters (sure you will find some picture from our official website), the church sends donations to residential homes, etc. The Church of Pentecost (PIWC FGT District) which we in Grays are part of collect imperishable quality food items and donate to the Barking and Dagenham Food Bank periodically (some pictures on our official website and social media handles – links on our Neighbourly site. If you guys will support us, we will be able to extend our humanitarian activities to many places and on regular basis. The church operates a project called “We Care Corner” where, food supplies are kept on each church day for families and visitors who are struggling to pick items and food supplies they need for the days ahead. I can bet you, this is a very popular initiative. We are doing so well already as a church, if you help us, we will be able to do more with a lot of resources.
