Our History

Foundation scripture, Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble.

 

The Ransom Church of God Universal Fellowship was founded in 1965.
The Pioneers - Bishop Owen Douce and Pastor Ethel Douce

The Call - 
St Matthew chapter 28 vs 18 - 20.

"Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the age".

Our first place of worship was a rented hall in Tooting, Franciscan Road SW17. We then moved to Welham Road in Mitcham.  For 27 years we ministered in the Tooting and Mitcham area where we shared premises with the Church of England. In 1993 the Lord led us to purchase our own property in Lewisham - 78 Albacore Crescent SE13 7HP. 

Over the years the ministry has been a blessing to many people in England and abroad.  People of all ages have given their lives to Christ; young people are given a solid Christian foundation.  Our purpose is to serve our community, country and abroad by feeding the hungry, clothing those who are in need, praying for the healing of the sick and educating people spiritually and academically. We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ that all will accept our invitation to know him. 

The vision continues, the call is honoured and obeyed.
