The Isle of Wight is well known as a boating venue, and hosts one of the biggest yachting events known to the sailing fraternity worldwide, the Cowes Regatta.

It is here in this town that forms a gateway to the Medina River and the centre of the Island, that The Apex Church was launched on the 19th October, 2008, with Paul and Yvonne Ras at the helm.

The sense of togetherness was amazing as 35 believers, including children, gathered to acknowledge and honour God.

The first service was held in the small, but cosy confines of Northwood House Community Hall. The sense of togetherness was amazing as 35 believers, including children, gathered to acknowledge and honour God. The presence of the Holy Spirit warmly settled on hearts as they worshipped their heavenly Father. The preaching of God's Word emphasized the fact that like Abraham who was looking for a city whose builder and maker was God, the Apex too was embarking on a journey to see the fulfillment of God's purpose with its people.

After five weeks a new venue had to be found to better accommodate the children's ministry plus the folk who were 'looking in' to see what the Apex was about. Cowes Youth & Community Centre, situated a few hundred yards from the Medina River, now houses the Apex on Sunday mornings.

At present we are in the fledgling stages of our development, but as present experience becomes history, we pray that it will make exciting reading. May it reveal the mighty hand of God in operation, bringing His Kingdom into being, and revealing His will being done on earth as it is in heaven.
