How it all began

The story of Gower New Life Church.

The Launch

October 2017

Gower New Life Church was officially launched on Sunday 8th October 2017 during a harvest service at Mount Pisgah Chapel in Parkmill. However, this was not the beginning of the story. The story actually started a few months earlier.

The Call

Four years after being part of the team that planted Liberty Church Swansea at the Bible College of Wales, Patrice and Rachael Aka felt the Call to start a new church in Gower. While looking for a possible location for the new church, an important door was opened at the Barham centre, Mount Pisgah, in Parkmill.

The Barham Connection

1822

The choice of the Barham centre was confirmed when God showed them how their vision was closely linked to that of Lady Barham who built Mount Pisgah chapel in 1822. Lady Barham visited Gower in the 1800s and was touched by the needs of the people.

"…being much concerned to see the darkness of the place, and the spiritual destruction of its people, was anxious to know what she could do to improve the condition."

She strategically established six churches, built Manses known as Barham house as well as many schools.

Picking Up the Baton

They felt that God was calling them to pick up the baton and build on what started 200 years ago. We feel blessed and honoured to be connected to this rich history of worship and a deep connection with the community. Patrice and Rachael and their team bring a new vision, a contemporary edge and leadership to the new church.
