departments are all walking along the same path in order
to reach our goals.

Each
department listed below is passionate about the vision
of the AoG and raises its own finances. Each one is
looking for people to get involved, pray and give towards
the ultimate dream! Will you?

Please look around
the departments and pray about whether or not God is calling
you to get involved in some way.

Church
Planting
In a nation as
culturally diverse as ours, our vision is to plant all kinds
of churches
that will reach all kinds of people. That will take a brave
pioneering spirit from both those that send and those that
go.
It will mean church leaders who are secure enough in God
to recognise, risk and release great people who have a heart
to reach those that conventional church
is not touching with the love of Jesus.
It will mean people with a missionary zeal, who will creatively
connect and engage with all kinds of people groups across
the UK forming new communities of faith, the hallmark of which
is Christ centred and mission minded.
Youth Alive
Youth Alive UK exists to see the youth and young adults
of this great nation discover and run with their God given
purpose.
Everyone needs to know that we were made by design, by a
loving and all powerful God. He has a plan to showcase his
love for the planet through us. 'Fantastic!' 'Surreal!' You
may say, yet true. The communication of this message is our
purpose, our quest and our passion.
History books are waiting to detail the God inspired exploits
of this generation. Individually we make a mark but together
we make a major impact from which the reverberations will
be heard by the generations to come. Anything less is unacceptable.
We are looking for those who believe that it is our day,
this is our hour, to make God famous, to link with us. We
invite those who resonate with the same passion to join with
us on what is destined to be the ride of our lives.
Children’s Department
The AoG National Children’s Department was established
in 1999 to promote the vital ministry to children, primarily
within Assemblies of God, but also serving the wider community
of churches within the UK and beyond. The Department supports
various projects overseas, produces a termly magazine, runs
summer camps for children, and organises many training days
and other
national children’s events. The Department has also
launched ‘Treasure Kids Network’ which aims
to help and encourage children across the nation.
If you join you will receive a membership pack, regular newsletters
and information about kids events, competitions, magazines
and resources.
Social Concern
The vision of Social Concern is to see every AoG Church actively
engaged in reaching their communities through social responsibility
and meeting needs in the name of Christ through love in action.
The aims of Social Concern are to:
- Network AoG and other churches together in common purpose
- Network with National Agencies to further its aims
- Develop Christian Social Action and meet community need
- Raise the profile of AoG social Concern within the nation
- Link local, regional and national levels of operation
to focus on relevant need
World Ministries
The purpose of Assemblies of God World Ministries is to work
towards the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
In keeping with this purpose, the World Ministries Directors
seek to provide an apostolic framework in which Assemblies
of God leaders, churches and missionaries can work together
most effectively and strategically towards the fulfillment
of the Great Commission. The World Ministries’ vision
is to lay the foundation of a missionary force which will
impact every nation in the world.
Mattersey Hall
Mattersey Hall is a Christian College founded in London in
1919. It is the official Bible College and training centre
of Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland Incorporated.
At the heart of its mission both the College and the Graduate
School are committed to providing an education that is innovative
and marked by academic excellence. This prepares men and
women
for productive Christian service in vocations and ministries
matched to the marketplace of the 21st Century.
Assemblies of God is one of the world's largest Pentecostal
groups. However, our students are drawn from a great variety
of nations, denominations and fellowships, and any Christian
who is sympathetic to the aims of the College is most welcome
to apply. The composition of the College is truly both international
and interdenominational. The emphasis is distinctly charismatic.
