About Us

The people, the story and the convictions behind AGGF UK.

WHO WE ARE

You are very welcome here. We are a church that believes no one should walk alone. God has called us to be a spiritual family, a place where people meet Jesus, are transformed by His Word, strengthened through prayer and prepared to fulfil the purpose He established for their lives.

Our faith should never be limited to the four walls of a church building. We believe we are called to take Christ to our families, our relationships, our work, our community and every place God sends us.

More than attending a church, we want to build a community where you can say: “This is my place. Here I belong.”

OUR STORY

Our story began in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was from there that our pastors came, with their family and with a calling planted in their hearts, crossing the ocean to sow this work here in the United Kingdom.

For four years now, God has been building AGGF UK in this land. We have seen this church grow, families find a home and lives being reached for Christ, step by step, by His grace.

Along our journey we have learned that a church is not built only with walls, chairs or structures. A church is built with people.

Every service, every prayer, every time of fasting, every tear, every testimony, every family reached and every life transformed is part of what God is building among us.

We recognise that we have come this far not by our own strength, but by the grace and faithfulness of God. Our church exists to glorify God, to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to care for people, leading every life into a true relationship with God.

OUR MISSION

To lead people to know Jesus, to grow in His Word, to live in holiness and to fulfil their purpose.

Our mission begins in a relationship with God and reaches every area of life. We preach Jesus. We teach the Word. We live in prayer. We practise fasting. We pursue a life of holiness.

We understand that what we profess inside the church must also be reflected in the way we behave outside of it. We are called to live the Gospel, not only to speak about it.

OUR VISION

To be a church that transforms lives and raises disciples for Christ.

We want to be a church that is relevant to this generation, established on the Word of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and committed to people.

Our vision is to see families restored, young people raised up, men and women strengthened in faith, lives reached by the Gospel and disciples prepared to make a difference wherever God has placed them.

We do not simply want to fill a room. We want to see lives transformed.

OUR FOUNDATION

PRAYER • FASTING • THE WORD • CONDUCT

  • Prayer

    Because we recognise that we depend on God.

    “Devote yourselves to prayer.” Colossians 4:2

  • Fasting

    Because we choose to seek God above our own desires and to strengthen our spiritual life.

    “Declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.” Joel 1:14

  • The Word

    Because we do not want to be guided by opinions, emotions or circumstances, but by the truth of God's Word.

    “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105

  • Conduct

    Because our faith needs to be seen in the way we live, the way we treat people and the way we represent Christ.

    “Let your light shine before others.” Matthew 5:16

What we pray, what we seek, what we learn and the way we live must walk together.

OUR PURPOSE

To glorify God and prepare people to live what they were called to.

We believe that every person has value before God and that every life carries a purpose. That is why we want to be a church where you can find, know, serve and grow.

  • Find God.
  • Know His Word.
  • Serve people.
  • Grow spiritually.
  • Fulfil the purpose God placed in your life.

A CHURCH TO BELONG TO

Perhaps you are looking for a church. Perhaps you are looking for answers. Perhaps you are starting again. Perhaps you have drifted away from God. Or perhaps you are simply looking for a place where you can grow spiritually and serve the Lord.

We want you to know that there is a place for you here. We are not a perfect church, but we are a church that wants to keep being transformed by God.

Here we want to walk together. A family to welcome you. A Word to teach you. A faith to live. A purpose to fulfil.

Our prayer is that, as you get to know our church, you will find more than an address or a timetable. We pray you find a community of faith where you can belong and grow in the presence of God.
