From Superintendent St. John
Welcome
to the online office of the Minnesota District Council of the
Assemblies of God. The Minnesota District Council of the
Assemblies of God is composed of approximately 205 churches,
825 credentialed ministers, and close to 60,000 adherents and
is part of a nationwide fellowship of churches consisting of
over 12,500 churches, 36,000 credentialed ministers and approximately
3 million adherents. Our
office in Minneapolis serves as a resource center for the ministers
and churches of this state seeking to provide tools to enable
them to better reach and serve their churches and communities.
Our
reason-for-being is described as follows
Ministry
to the Lord Through Worship: It
is our purpose and mission to establish and maintain Spirit-filled
places of worship in every community dedicated to the worship
of Almighty God, in the person of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
Ministry
to the Lost Through Evangelism: In
accordance with the clear teaching of Scripture, it is our
purpose and mission to seek to relevantly present the claims
of Christ to a lost and dying world. Our ministers and
churches operate with the goal of helping individuals in
their local communities and around the world better understand
God and His wonderful plan for their lives.
Ministry
to the Body of Christ: It
is our purpose and mission to promote a loving, caring atmosphere
among those in our own fellowship of churches and also in
the larger body of Christ, thereby providing a climate in
which believers can be nurtured in their faith and become
strong disciplined followers of Jesus Christ.
There
are more than 125 churches in the seven-county metro area
and 80 additional churches in various communities across
our state that are here to serve you. There is one
close to you to help you on your spiritual journey.
