About Us

The story of Bethel Assemblies of God begins with a passion that Pastor Binuraj and his wife, Ancilla, had to serve the Lord wherever He led them. They migrated to Auckland in 2007, and God’s favour was with them. They found like-minded people who wanted to worship together, and they began meeting on Fridays at a house in Royal Oak, Auckland. The group met regularly, and slowly and steadily the Friday meetings grew. It was the Lord who led the group to Onehunga Community House, at 83 Selwyn Street, for their first Sunday worship on 16 September 2007.

The church grew according to God’s perfect plan, and Onehunga Community House became too small for the crowd. God led the church to Alexandra Park in Greenlane, one of Auckland’s well-known venues, where it met from 2011 to 2021. In 2021 the church moved to a place of its own, at 22-26 Rosella Road, Māngere East, Auckland 2024, and has been a blessing to the community here.

People with a passion to serve the Lord joined hands with Pastor Binuraj, and today the church is enormously blessed in many ways. The church leadership team plays a great part in how the church functions. With a great desire to fulfil the Great Commission of Jesus Christ, the church is focused on building up men and women who can be trained and used in God’s wider Kingdom plan.

Bethel Assemblies of God is humbled by the way the Lord has led the church since day one. Today the church has a blessed worship team of talented and anointed young people.

Although the main service is in English, the church caters for many languages. A live translation service translates the pastor’s message into Indian and Sinhalese regional languages, so that you can learn the Word of God in your own language and find comfort in it. Bethel AOG now has more than 17 language groups and represents 7 countries. Members meet regularly in cell groups to study the Word of God with zeal, and regional meetings are held in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and Sinhalese.

Sunday School and the Teens meet every Sunday, and the Kids Church has dedicated teachers who invest in the lives of these young people. The youth wing is one of the strengths of Bethel AOG, and its members work together with the pastor and his evangelistic dreams.
