Who Assembly for All Nations is, what defines the church, and how that identity is expressed from the global family to each local congregation.
Assembly for All Nations (AfAN) is a Christ-centred, Bible-based Pentecostal family of churches committed to proclaiming Jesus Christ, making disciples, strengthening believers and planting churches that can reproduce healthy churches.
The name Assembly for All Nations expresses both identity and calling: a church family that values the local congregation while looking beyond one city, culture or country to the nations.
AfAN is expressed through national churches, divisions, districts, clusters and local congregations. Each level serves the same Gospel mission while providing leadership, accountability, fellowship and practical ministry support.
Jesus Christ is central to AfAN’s preaching, worship, discipleship and mission. Ministry is directed toward making Him known and forming believers who follow Him faithfully.
AfAN seeks to ground doctrine, leadership, Christian conduct and ministry practice in the teaching of Scripture.
The church embraces Spirit-filled Christian life and ministry, prayer, worship and dependence on the Holy Spirit for witness and service.
Evangelism, discipleship, sending and church planting are treated as connected parts of one continuing mission.
Local churches are places of worship, fellowship, pastoral care, discipleship, ministry and service to their communities.
AfAN’s structures connect local congregations to a wider family so that leaders, ministries and churches can serve together across regions and nations.
AfAN’s identity is expressed through worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, compassion, leadership development, missions and church planting.
