Responding to COVID-19

spiritual advice,

This page aims to make it as easy as possible for you to keep up to date with everything the UCKG HelpCentre is doing in response to COVID-19. How the pandemic is affecting the church’s work, and the changes we have made.

Most importantly, we want you to know that while church’s doors are closed – as they must be – the church itself never closes, for the church is you, each and every one of you that believes alongside your Pastors and Bishop.

Every day of this crisis – for however long it takes – the UCKG will be here to support you in prayer, provide inspiring messages and guide you through spiritual advice. We stand with you so that when this pandemic ends – as it will – we will all see this period made us stronger, better humans, more community conscious and altogether exemplary Christians!

This page will be updated regularly as the situation develops and will reflect future government guidance. Be sure to visit regularly.

Facing the crisis
We live in unprecedented times as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) threat encircles the world. We are all being challenged over the way we live our lives, and if anyone is living life as normal, they’re doing something wrong. Such is the advice and restrictive measures that the British government has imposed on us.

Being unable to live normally will invariably test our humanity, our sense of community and ultimately our faith. From the very start of this crisis intense and at times inaccurate social media coverage has added to people’s worries and most likely made the job harder for those at the frontline in the battle against COVID-19, while the regular news media have, perhaps been overly negative in the face of an exceptionally serious situation.

What’s important
In times of crisis, it is crucial t0 focus on what’s really important and overcoming the difficulties. Right now, we need to do everything in our power to stay safe, stop the spread of the virus, and help our loved ones and the most vulnerable in our society, and keep the flame of faith in the living God burning bright inside us.
