About Us 

A brief history ...
Riverside Wellington (previously known as Wellington Christian Outreach Centre) was birthed from a home church with Rex and Gwen Turner in 1984 and transitioned to Wellington COC in 1986.  It moved to various locations in Wellington until the Church as it stands today was built in 1994.
There have been 5 previous Pastors who have ministered to the community of Wellington with Max & Meg continuing the work of the Lord from September 2014.
The foundations of Wellington COC Church were birthed in the power of the Holy Spirit from 1984 and this has continued to this day!

Previous Pastors:
Ray and Anne Baker 1986 - 1989
Bevan and Sandy Greenwood 1989 - 2000
Neil and Julie Tyrie 2000 - 2002
Andrew and Debbie Peacocke 2002 - 2008
Colin and Sharon Russell 2008 - 2014
