What All Saints' Woodford Wells does

All Saints' Woodford Wells (legal entity: PCC of All Saints' with St Andrew's, Woodford Wells) is a registered UK charity (No. 1128042) and Anglican parish operating in the charismatic evangelical tradition, situated at Inmans Row, Woodford Green in the London Borough of Redbridge. It falls under the Diocese of Chelmsford and is affiliated with the New Wine movement; Vicar Rev Paul Harcourt is a former National Leader of New Wine. The parish runs four Sunday services (8am traditional BCP, 9:30am traditional with choir, 11:15am family worship, 6:30pm evening celebration), a Wednesday midweek communion, and Breathe Church (a monthly accessible service for people with learning disabilities), supported by an Alpha course, small groups across multiple East London/Essex locations, and dedicated programmes for children (Saints' Kids, Toddlers, Babies), youth (Youngers and Olders), 20s & 30s, families, and seniors (Vintage Tea and Lunch). Pastoral care is delivered through a Parish Nurse, a Bereavement Journey programme, and a wider pastoral team.

The organisation is structured as a resourcing church leading the All Saints' Minster network of five local Anglican parishes and hosts the All Saints Myriad Hub — a two-and-a-half-year training programme for lay church planters in partnership with Myriad (Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication). It also delivers theological education through the WTC Theology North East London Hub and the year-long New Wine Discipleship Year (NWDY) residential programme. Community-facing infrastructure includes The Atrium, a volunteer-run coffee shop open weekdays and two Saturdays per month, and a venue-hire operation.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary donations: Sunday collections, bank transfers, standing orders, payroll giving, text giving (SMS to 70085), Give.net online donations, legacy bequests, and Gift Aid recovery (25p per £1 donated). There is no fee-for-service model. Operational technology is limited to standard off-the-shelf tools — ChurchSuite (member register, calendar, rotas, event booking, iOS/Android apps), Give.net (donations), YouTube (livestream), Zoom (prayer meetings and online small groups), and Spotify (worship playlists) — with no proprietary technology or AI/ML capability disclosed. The organisation holds an EcoChurch Bronze Award from A Rocha and operates under formal Church of England safeguarding, GDPR, and Safer Recruitment policies.
