"A Local Community of God's People - a Church that Makes a difference"

Our church was founded in 1961, when Pastor Ken Rowlands opened the fellowship with just a small number of people gathering in the Constitutional Hall in Cross Street, Wigston. The church at that time was called the "Wigston Assemblies of God Church".

As the church became more well known in the area, the membership grew and in 1968 new purpose built premises were opened in Central Avenue, Wigston. These were extended in 1977.

In 1988, the Methodist Church in Frederick Street joined with the Methodist Church in Moat Street, and the Moat Street premises were then used as their place of worship. The Frederick Street building was consequently purchased by our church to accommodate the growing congregation. It was at this point that the church changed its name to the "Wigston Central Pentecostal Church".

To commemorate the move, a March of Witness took place from Central Avenue to Frederick Street. The opening service was led by Pastor Ken Rowlands, and Keith Monument, the Assemblies of God Home Missions Secretary, preached. The service was attended by the mayor of Oadby and Wigston.

In 1990, Pastor Ken Rowlands retired after 30 years service. Pastor John Parker took over as Senior Pastor, successfully leading the work on for the next 15 years.

Our present Pastors, Phil and Mary Buckley took on the work in September 2006.

Today, with an adult membership of 150 together with a thriving work with children, young people and senior citizens, the church continues its tradition of sharing the Christian message with the people of Wigston and surrounding areas.
