Pershore Evangelical Church (PEC) was formed at the beginning of 1990, to be precise on the 13th January. This event was the culmination of the work and witness of 2 families who moved out from London to Pershore in the summer of 1986, in order to engage in evangelistic work in the town. The goal of this evangelistic work, under the hand of God, was to see the establishment of a Bible based evangelical church.
From 1986 until the formation of the church in 1990 the work in Pershore was jointly overseen by the church in London, from which the 2 families who had moved out to Pershore had come, and the FIEC church at East Street in Worcester (this church has since moved to Warndon and is now known as Woodgreen Evangelical Church).
Those first 3 years of the work were busy and exciting, a blank page on which to write, and with God’s help a solid scriptural foundation was laid: a church constitution, 2 meetings on Sunday with a morning Sunday School; 1 meeting midweek for Bible Study and prayer; weekly meetings for school age children; a range of other outreach endeavours; and a regular publication named “Pershore Life” which was distributed to every home in Pershore 4 times each year (now 3 times a year). Our initial base during those first 3 years, a real answer to prayer, was the Three Springs Day Centre in Abotts Grange. It served us excellently, and just about accommodated the sometimes 40+ people who met on Sunday morning to worship God.

This bright and exciting start was destined not to last, within a couple of years of the church being formed about half of those involved left to join Emmanuel Church (this church, which no longer exists, was formed by a group of people who came to Pershore with the vision, under the hand of God, of establishing a church similar in stance to the Assemblies of God).
