Melton Assembly of God (AOG) is a Pentecostal church associated with Australian Christian Churches. Established in 1988, the church has continued to grow numerically and spiritually over the past few years under the leadership of Pastor’s Richard & Sonia Doherty who have a vision to see it become a large, healthy and influential church. Currently the church has three pastors on staff and a fourth pastor working voluntarily. Our leadership team consists of 12 men & woman who have a passion to see our vision fulfilled.

What We Believe

The Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.

In one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

Sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

The Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.

In order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

In order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues which is the initial evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.

God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.

God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

Our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

Vision

Pastor Richard has a vision for a church where the power of God brings freedom, restoration and healing to every area of our lives.

A church that plants and supports other churches, has a healthy, growing link ministry, dynamic youth ministry, spirit-filled children’s ministry and is reaching out to the lost and hurting. A church that supports and send out missionaries across the globe to spread the Word of God. A growing, healthy and influential church that brings honour to God and like other churches in Melton, is instrumental in establishing his Kingdom in Melton and beyond.
