The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God to open new auditorium in city centre

The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) is set to unveil a newly refurbished auditorium at its Sheffield branch, marking a significant transformation of its premises at 12 Hartshead Square in the city centre. The church will host a special community event on Monday, 26 May, at 11am, inviting neighbours, local leaders, and supporters to witness the changes. The event will include testimonies of faith, prayers for those in need, and a blessing of the new space by senior church leaders.

The UCKG has been serving the Sheffield community for nearly a decade, functioning as both a spiritual hub and a centre for community support. The renovation is part of a broader initiative to invest in local infrastructure, creating accessible spaces where individuals from all walks of life can find hope, support, and spiritual guidance.

Bishop James Marques, who leads the UCKG’s UK evangelistic work, expressed enthusiasm about the new chapter. He stated that the building, which has been part of the Sheffield skyline for many years, now symbolises transformation not only in its physical appearance but also in the lives of the people it serves. The church aims to continue supporting the community through practical, personal, and spiritual means.

The UCKG’s efforts have been acknowledged in the recent Faith and the Future report, which found that 72% of Gen Z believe faith-based organisations like the UCKG play a crucial role in addressing modern social issues such as mental health, youth crime, and homelessness. The Sheffield branch is one of 38 full-time UCKG centres across the UK, offering daily services, a helpline, youth groups, and community programmes.

Nationwide initiatives such as the Victory Youth Group, The Night Angels, and Love Therapy exemplify the UCKG’s commitment to supporting individuals facing life’s challenges. These programmes reflect the church’s dedication to providing practical assistance and spiritual direction to those in need.

For further information or media attendance at the opening event, interested parties are encouraged to contact the UCKG directly. The event offers an opportunity to engage with the community and witness the church’s ongoing efforts to serve and uplift.
