Religious Services Service
The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) in Jamaica is a Pentecostal Christian church located at 141 Maxfield Avenue, Kingston. It forms part of the international UCKG movement founded in Brazil, known for its emphasis on faith-based healing, deliverance, and prosperity teachings. The Kingston branch serves as a major center for worship and community outreach in the Caribbean.
The UCKG was established in 1977 in Rio de Janeiro by Edir Macedo and has since expanded globally. In Jamaica, it operates several branches, with the Maxfield Avenue location—often referred to as the Universal Temple of Faith—serving as the national headquarters.
The church offers multiple daily services, typically focused on specific themes such as healing, prosperity, and family restoration. Worshipers participate in prayer chains, anointing services, and Bible-based teachings aimed at spiritual and personal transformation. These activities attract large congregations seeking spiritual and material well-being.
Beyond its religious functions, the Kingston branch contributes to community life through charity initiatives and counseling programs. It promotes empowerment and faith-centered self-improvement among its members, reflecting the global UCKG’s emphasis on social outreach and personal renewal.
