Assemblies of God & Evangelical Alliance
River Ministries are in Fellowship with
Assemblies of God in Great Britain and
Ireland.
The Assemblies of God is part of the fast-growing
group of Christians known as Pentecostals who today number well over 500
million world-wide. Assemblies of God is a classical Pentecostal fellowship of
evangelical churches which place a distinct emphasis on the need for the Holy
Spirit's empowerment in their worship, work and witness.
This emphasis, expressed both in doctrine and
practice, has resulted in a growth in more than 50 nations of the world. The
purpose of Assemblies of God is to give every man, woman and child the
opportunity of understanding the gospel and to provide a church where they can
grow in ministry for the glory of God.

disagreement.

in contemporary culture.
- Fostering evangelical concern, working through

media and the wider Church and defending religious liberty.
