We Love Our Church!
I would like to start this Day out by Praising God for The Ark Christian Fellowship. I am So thankful to God for leading my family to the Ark 5 years ago. Truly this has been a place of refuge in times of storm. A lot has happened since then and there has been numerous storms of different nature, but The Ark has always been here for me and my family. Thank God for that!! Where would I be without the ARK?! That is a question I hope and pray will never be answered! Sincerely Your Sister In Christ Jesus, Angie Carter
When my wife Amy, and I, stopped by the Ark, it was only going to be for a couple times until we found a local Church that we could be members of. As we sat through that first service we just felt that God had brought us here on purpose and for a purpose. The people had such hearts for the Lord and their Pastor was so full of God's Word that we knew we would be staying for as long as God saw fit. The ministries that this little church fulfills show the true Heart of their leader and the body and encourages and enriches us daily. We are so blessed to be a part of this body. Reverend Doug Harris
How is my local church affiliated with the Assemblies of God?
Within the fellowship of the Assemblies of God there are two classifications of churches - General Council affiliated churches and district affiliated churches. General Council affiliated churches enjoy full autonomy, having developed to the point of where they are self-governing and self-supporting. These fundamental principles have been catalysts for growth in the Fellowship. District affiliated churches are those which have not yet developed to the point where they qualify for full autonomy. All assemblies are required to adhere to the Statement of Fundamental Truths and a biblical pattern of conduct. Learn More
What distinguishes the Assemblies of God from other Christian groups?
The Assemblies of God is an evangelic protestant fellowship that believes God exists in three persons -- the Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. The most definitive identification of the Assemblies of God is Pentecostal. Just as it was founded in 1914, the Fellowship remains a full gospel church—one where the fullness of the Holy Spirit is welcomed, nurtured, and taught. This includes speaking in tongues as the initial evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Other manifestations of the Holy Spirit embraced by the church include: messages in tongues with interpretations, prophecies, word of knowledge, and the complete gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit as indicated in the Bible. Among Pentecostal churches—the Assemblies of God is largest worldwide with over 52 million constituents.
