“A church founded in 1989? That’s pretty recent!” someone might say. You might be surprised to learn that the Wellington Full Gospel Church, despite its relatively recent founding date, has connections to a much older Pentecostal history in New Zealand. The Pentecostal movement itself has roots in Wellington dating back to the early 20th century. In 1926, a prominent Pentecostal preacher named Smith Wigglesworth visited New Zealand, bringing with him the fiery, charismatic preaching style that would come to define the movement. His visit had a lasting impact and helped to establish Pentecostalism in New Zealand. While the Wellington Full Gospel Church itself might not have been around in those early days, its existence is a testament to the enduring legacy of Wigglesworth’s visit and the continued growth of Pentecostalism in Wellington and beyond. This makes the Wellington Full Gospel Church not just a place of worship but a living link to a rich and vibrant religious heritage.
