Our Affiliation

Evangel Church is affiliated with a group of churches known as the Assemblies of God (AG). There are over 2.8 million people in the United States and over 52.5 million adherents worldwide who are affiliated with this growing church family called the Assemblies of God. There are 12,277 churches across the U.S. who are a part of the Assemblies. Some will say that the Assemblies of God is one of the fastest growing churches of its kind in the world, but that would be really difficult to measure.  A better statement is God continues to show great favor and blessing to the Assemblies of God as this movement of people are striving to fulfill the will and purpose of the Lord.

Our affiliation does not mean Evangel is controlled by a parent organization. The Assemblies of God believes that the best leadership for a community is found at the local level. We are owned and operated by the local membership here at Evangel Church. The emphasis and control of AG churches are at the grass roots local level.

In God's good time these two entities were brought together and a small group began. On June 6, 1966, Winston Churchill School in Schaumburg became the first meeting place for the church, Evangel Assembly of God. Approximately seventeen people were present at the first service.
