RCCG FruitfulTabernacle has other departments listed below with its various activities;
Evangelism
The Bible has commanded us to evangelise – Matthew 28:18-20 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
We regularly carry out the great commission and have regular evangelism in Canvey Island and beyond.
Usher
Our church ushers help to ensure a smooth running of our church services and they minister to people in a variety of ways. The duty of an usher in our church include greeting people as they arrive for the service, assisting with people special needs and collecting the offering. Prior to our church service times, the ushers are responsible for checking the church premises and ensure that church bulletins are ready for distribution. Ushers also help with the Lord’s Table and have a goal of minimizing distractions during praise, worship and sermon.
Follow up
The Follow up team acknowledge the presence of new comers at every service. They give out a ‘new here’ card to visitors and make sure that the cards are filled and returned to the team. They get in touch through phone calls and emails to new comers, and invite them to come back. Follow up team ensures that guests are engaged during and after the church service.
Counselling
Life is filled with test/trials and sometimes, we experience distressing situations and are overwhelmed by feelings and emotions. In these circumstances, it is helpful to talk to our counselling team who will be able to offer godly advice. We help with a range of issues including; marriage, depression, low self-esteem, decision making, bereavement and other life challenging matters. RCCG FruitfulTabernacle provides a confidential and safe environment where people can explore life issues.
Media
We live digital age and technology is constantly changing. At RCCG FruitfulTabernacle we have a thorough understanding of digital technology and how it affects our church. We applied social media to satisfy the demands and necessities of our congregation and visitors. Of course, we do not want to replace members’ participation with digital technology.

The Protocol team procure and process travel documents of guests before special programmes. Our protocol team at RCCG FruitfulTabernacle are responsible for routine protocol duties within the church premises during services and meetings. They man the church entrance, main sanctuary and Pastor’s office.
Teachers
In RCCG FruitfulTabernacle teachers are essential to help members and visitors grow in the knowledge of the word of word, thereby increasing in faith and walk with God. We know that GOD is the ultimate Teacher of us all.
Our Lord Jesus was frequently referred to as “Teacher” during His time on earth. As the Master Teacher, Jesus taught in word and in action. Whilst with the disciples in the Upper Room following the Last Supper Jesus taught his disciples and showed an example of a good teacher. ‘John 13:12-17Good News Translation (GNT)
12 After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his outer garment back on and returned to his place at the table. “Do you understand what I have just done to you?” he asked. 13 “You call me Teacher and Lord, and it is right that you do so, because that is what I am. 14 I, your Lord and Teacher, have just washed your feet. You, then, should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set an example for you, so that you will do just what I have done for you. 16 I am telling you the truth: no slaves are greater than their master, and no messengers are greater than the one who sent them. 17 Now that you know this truth, how happy you will be if you put it into practice!
Our church believes in equipping the saints to make them ready as disciples to nations (Matt. 28:19-20 NIV)19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
