Our Mission Developing Effective Leaders and Building Healthy Churches Our Strategy To ENCOURAGE through RELATIONSHIPS 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. To ENRICH through RESOURCES Proverbs 9:9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. To ENLARGE through REACHING OUT Isaiah 54:2 Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide; do not hold back, and lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. To EXPAND through RAISING UP 1 Samuel 2:35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his house, and he will minister before my anointed one always. Our History The Oregon Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God was established in 1937 with seventy-seven Assemblies located in the state. We now have approximately 200 churches throughout Oregon and 39 world missionaries in over 20 countries. The Assemblies of God was formed in April 1914 as a result of the world-wide Pentecostal movement that began at the turn of the century. There were 300 delegates in attendance at that first meeting in Hot Springs, Arkansas where they decided to organize as a national church. They had five reasons for organizing as a movement: doctrinal unity, conservation of the work, foreign missions interests, chartering churches under a common name for legal purposes, and the need for a Bible training school. For this reason they formed the General Council of the Assemblies of God. Read more about the Assemblies of God. |
