Rhema Christian Ministries (formerly known as Croydon Rhema Fellowship) began in May 1990. It started with 10 people including adults and children and within a month the numbers grew rapidly to over 30 people. Mark Goodridge was the Founder of Rhema. In 1996, Rhema went through a reformation and emerged as Rhema Christian Ministries.

In December 2006, Mark Goodridge resigned as Senior Pastor and in January
2007, Marva Scott was appointed as Pastor of Rhema Christian Ministries.

Rhema continues to exemplify the word given by God, “…that He will establish in us a new and fresh principle of His worship. It will begin where we are, it will spread through the city and nation, and touch many parts of the Body of Christ.” This principle of worship has profoundly impacted and continues to impact and shape the lives of those who attend our services.
