Relentless Church (formerly El Shaddai International Christian Centre) was an Evangelical denomination led by Ramson Mumba. The church is also a member of the Evangelical Alliance.
The church no longer exists as an overarching entity. Some congregations have continued under other names:
The London branch as Radiant City Church London [1]
The Manchester branch as Grace Life Church Manchester
The Birmingham branch as The Revival City Church Birmingham
Relentless Church has planted its seventh church in the UK, into the city of Sheffield. Dr Ramson has also moved to Houston, Texas to start the ninth church globally. After leaving his first wife and moving to the US without her, he married his second wife Estrella Mumba in 2014 and they make their home together in Houston, Texas.[7]
Ramson Mumba is the spiritual child of Creflo Dollar, and has been affiliated with his organisation in 2002. Ramson Mumba was described as "chic and trendy" by Jonathan Oloyede in an article on the black churchinChristianity Magazine.[8]
ESICC is not a black-majority church, and makes it clear that it is a church where all are accepted, regardless of race, skin colour, or gender.
In 2017, El-Shaddai International Christian Centre went into winding up as a business and charity. Its buildings, including the Golders Green Hippodrome, were closed and repossessed.[9] The US arm of the church continued under the Relentless Church name. In 2018, Ramson Mumba filed for bankruptcy in Texas.[10] and legal action was taken against him in 2020[11] by Pacific Diversified Investments LLC.
