Our History
Centre Church is the amalgamation of two churches: Mid Sussex Christian Centre (MSCC) in Burgess Hill and Church on the Rock, formally in Brighton. We are a Pentecostal Church within the Assemblies of God, Great Britain.
MSCC
MSCC was formed in 1976 (originally as Burgess Hill Pentecostal Church). The property, which is now the Centre Church Burgess Hill campus, was originally dedicated for Christian worship in 1829.
MSCC has its roots with the founding co-pastors, the late Jean-Jaques Zbinden and John Wildrianne, who had a vision to see a Pentecostal church established in Burgess Hill. Both these men, and their wives, were involved with the work of
the International Bible Training Institute, a Pentecostal Bible school that itself has a long
history of ministry in the area.
Centre Church UK
The core values were the belief that they were called to serve the community of Mid-Sussex
with the Christian gospel message, becoming a centre for Christian worship and community
activity.
We, as Centre Church, have a missionary outlook, loving God, and loving people. Jesus is the centre of all we are and all we do, so, we look to declare that love to people in practical ways.
Our mission is to connect with the surrounding community, reflect the truth of God, and encourage people to find acceptance, healing, and purpose in a relationship with Christ.
Join us in our mission to make a difference through creativity and faith!
