NTCG Harvest Temple Endorsements

Based in the multi-ethnic, inner city area of Heath Town, NTCG Harvest Temple is a part of the local community – serving its needs. The church has a dedicated volunteer base and is developing its sites to increase its potential social/economic contribution to the area. The church's doors are open to all, providing a wide range of activities in addition to worship for all ages and genders – community conferences, concerts, drama productions, cultural events, public meetings, etc. Better facilities would enable the further delivery of needed services and the expanse of existing programmes such as:

Harvest Community Food Bank

  • Referrals from JobCentre Plus, Social Services and other agencies. 40 to 60 people access the food bank weekly. It is supported primarily by the congregation, plus Asda - Heath Town, Sainsburys - Bentley Bridge, Tesco Community Food Connection (Wolverhampton) - via FareShare, St Stephens Primary School and Holy Trinity Church.

YMCA Headstart Project

Malachi’s & Manna Soup Kitchen
