GRACE ASSEMBLY

What GRACE ASSEMBLY does

Grace Assembly Church is a UK-registered charity (Charity No: 1139873) headquartered in Croydon, London, operating as a multinational Christian ministry focused on discipleship, community transformation, and missionary outreach. The organisation's core offering comprises weekly worship services — Sundays at 11:00 AM and Fridays at 7:30 PM — held at the Endeavour Scout Hall, 273 Norbury Crescent, Norbury SW16 4LF, with parallel online attendance via Zoom (ID: 854 4889 6305) and a Wednesday prayer and teaching session. Around these core services, Grace Assembly operates a broad portfolio of community programmes targeting every demographic: the Energise Football Club (a youth football programme competing in the London County Saturday Youth Football League), the Academy for Music, Media, Dance and Drama, a Marriage Relationship Course, structured training in partnership with the Institute of Christian Education and Ministries (ICEM) and Ambassadors Fellowship, and dedicated ministries for children, youth, men, women, and families.

The church's revenue model is donation-driven. Income derives from congregational tithes and offerings, monthly recurring sponsorships for specific causes — £10/month for missionaries, £20/month per orphan, £10/month for prisoner ministry — modest training fees of £10 per session or £120 per year, and one-off contributions toward income-generating activities for missionaries (typically £1,000 to establish). The technology stack is intentionally lean: standard tools (Zoom, Google Meet, a website at graceassembly.org.uk, and WhatsApp community groups) with no proprietary systems, no mobile application, no public API, and no digital products beyond sermon and blog content.

Geographically, Grace Assembly maintains an active missionary presence in nine countries — the UK, Spain, Brazil, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and the Republic of Benin — while poverty alleviation and orphan support extend operations to 20+ additional countries in Africa and South Asia. Short-term mission trips lasting 7–12 days are a core engagement channel. The organisation's flagship strategic initiative is its 100,000 Disciple Makers vision, anchored by an external registration platform (100kDiscipleMakers.org) and supported by the upcoming AFI UK 2026 Mission Conference. Governance is self-directed with no parent organisation, no disclosed institutional investors, and no venture or philanthropic capital backing referenced.
