All Nations Christian Centre is based in Reading. The church was planted in 1928 by George Jeffreys and soon moved into its own building in Waylen Street. It remained there for many years until in 1989, the purchase of St. Saviours Anglican church was completed. For a number of years the church maintained the name St. Saviours. Around fifteen years ago, the church became All Nations Christian Centre (ANCC).
The church is multigenerational and culturally diverse Elim church with a rich heritage of gifted pastors and a heart for missions.
