THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU!
THE BIG PICTURE
Our church is part of the “Assemblies of God” (AG), which is comprised of 13,000 churches
in America, with approximately three million people considering an Assembly of God church
their primary place of worship. In our Pennsylvania and Delaware Network of AG churches,
we have 400 worship locations, with around 200,000 people connecting regularly in weekly
worship.
THE LOCAL CHURCH
Each of our AG churches has a distinct feel, and yet all of our churches share some common
elements and core values. Our statement of beliefs (see page 26) lists 16 Fundamental Truths
that each AG church embraces. At the center of these beliefs is the conviction that everyone
can enjoy a relationship with God the Father by experiencing forgiveness through Jesus Christ,
His Son, and being filled with His Spirit for both an abundant life now and eternal life in the
future (see last page for details). This core belief drives everything we do as a church and is the
basis for our relationship with God and each other.
HOW WE CONNECT
Of course, our main get-together happens on Sunday mornings. Worshiping God through
songs and prayer make up most of the front end of a Sunday service. The second half involves
an informational or inspirational message from the pastor based upon life-giving truth
communicated to mankind by God through the Bible. This combination of worship and Word
feeds us spiritually.
WELCOME!
On behalf of our fellowship of Assemblies of
God churches, we welcome you to worship
and connect with God and this family of faith!
HOW WE GROW
In addition to the Sunday morning worship experience, our churches typically provide
additional get-togethers for various age and interest groups. Providing opportunities to
grow in our relationship with God, as well as growing in our relationship with other people
who are “Christ-followers,” becomes the basis for all of our activities and get-togethers.
Some gatherings emphasize engaging activities, while others are learning exchanges.
Conversations, relationships, connections and common interests motivate us to get together
regularly. Knowing God and discovering His plan for our lives are the reasons that we do
church together. No matter what your personal context looks like, we believe that you can
find meaningful, fulfilling connections within our church. Our PennDel Ministry Network exists
to resource your church and it’s congregants with age or interest appropriate programs and
growth opportunities. We hope that this publication will provide you with information that will
help you develop those connections!
