Churches Outnumber Pubs In The UK, RCCG Is Now Largest Pentecostal Denomination by chibaby1985(op): 6:19pm On May 31, 2019
As Churches Outnumber Pubs in the UK, RCCG is now the largest Pentecostal Denomination.



Researcher Peter Brierley writes that “there are now more church buildings than pubs in UK, according to recent figures announced last month by the National Churches Trust.” Existing churches in UK have been joined in the last 25 years or so by others coming from West Africa, the “reverse mission” churches, like the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Potters House Christian Fellowship, Mountain of Fire Ministries, Church of Pentecost, and others.


Many of these are starting new churches. Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, the RCCG, for example, has started over 800 churches in the UK since 1993, led by a man with clear vision and effective strategy, Pastor Agu Irukwu. His 4,000- strong Church of All Nations in Brent, West London, adopted the mantra “a church within 10 minutes walking distance.” That comes straight out of the Nigerian bush country (Villages) where no one goes to church by car or taxi. It is effectively the “parish” system used by the three largest denominations, but the RCCG pursue it energetically: “You live near us, come and join us, you’ll enjoy it, we are warm and lively, and you haven’t far to go.”



Many respond; the RCCG is now the largest Pentecostal denomination in the UK. Peter Brierley runs the Brierley Consultancy, a research initiative designed to strengthen church leadership

The UK is still engrossed and busy with the issue of Brexit and all of it's other gbeges.

I trust this issue to be re-visited and sorted very soon.

Assemblies of God Church is and will remain the largest pentecostal denomination in the world.

RCCG is not even close to AGC in population.


RCCG have 5 million members world wide while AGC have almost 70 million members world wide.

We are talking of the world and you're talking of UK,

AGC is American and it's every part of the world,

you don't compare AGC in South Korea with RCCG in South Korea, that's if there is any RCCG there. if there is then you know that it's Nigerian and more than 99% of the population of the church would be Nigerians. It's not like that with AGC, AGC is like indigenous there and they control it. AGC have up to 800,000 members in South Korea, RCCG can't claim of up to 2,000 member there,
Most of RCCG members are Nigerians around the world.

I was from AGC and I'm no longer a Christian, I'm now atheist.

Religion is declining in the world

It's a Fact that Assembles of God Church is the Largest Pentecostal Denomination in the world under Protestant.

Lol. A born again Christian who did not know that the body of Christ is One and the various church denominations are parts of Jesus' central body?
