This week, Jesus House, a church and Christian charity at Brent Cross will play host to the Prince of Wales on his 59th birthday.
A special thanksgiving service will be held to honour and celebrate Prince Charles, who will be accompanied on the visit by the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Prince's visit is also to acknowledge and appreciate the work done at Jesus House, one of London's largest black majority churches, within the local community and beyond.
It also acknowledges the growing contribution of Pentecostal and black majority churches within the UK.
The service will also be attended by The Mayor of Barnet, Councillor Maureen Braun, the leader of the council, Cllr Mike Freer, local MPs and the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard John Chartres.
Jesus House was founded in April 1994 as a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). The RCCG was founded in 1952 and is led by Pastor E.A Adeboye , the General Overseer. The movement has a growing membership of over a million people worldwide.
Jesus House moved premises to Barnet borough in 2001 and has been actively involved in community efforts targeted at youth, elderly and disadvantaged group.
"Working in partnership to resolve the ills, injustices and evil in our communities is an integral part of our Christian life and heritage. We are here to physically represent Jesus in our community and do the sorts of things that He would do if He walked the streets of Barnet today," said Ayo Adedoyin, Head of Communications at Jesus House.
Jesus House works closely with local and central government bodies, the Metropolitan Police and other community groups.
It runs The Novo Centre, a drop-in centre on the Grahame Park Estate in Colindale for residents or anyone else requiring support, befriending, counselling or life-courses.
The word 'Novo' means 'renewal'- By investing in this centre, Jesus House seeks to bring a renewal that will transform the lives of people.
Jesus House is led by Senior Pastor, Agu Irukwu, who said of the royal visit, "It is truly an honour for us to be visited by their Royal Highnesses on an important day for them. We trust that God will make it a special day for all of us."
