The Mini Education Centre was opened in 1989. In the beginning there were only students from the St. James Secondary School and from the immediate surroundings, but as the word spread about the work being done, students came from many schools across the island.

Over the years we have helped students from both primary and secondary schools. Two students, one from St. James Secondary and one from Combermere went on to the University of the West Indies at Cave Hill Campus and received first class honours expressed their sincere thanks for the help they received and the pleasant study environment offered at the MEC.

We have even had a few adults attend to improve their reading skills. One rushed off to live in Canada and the other said she was proud to sit in a bus and open the daily newspaper and to read just like anyone else.

The MEC offers help with home work preparation for the Eleven Plus exam, as well as the CXC and CAPE programmes. There is a computer network and internet facilities for the students and an introduction to computers program was provided for adults of the congregation.

For 17 years now the centre has been functioning. We have received donations of magazines, books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, a television and video, radio, computers, printers, a scanner and furniture from well wishers. We welcome any contribution of books, magazines and any other items that children may enjoy and use in their quest for knowledge and truth.

We have come this far by faith, we all need encouragement in order to help our fellow man.
