Next Generation is now!

The presence of the Next Generation Commission for the first time at the 2023 World Congress will provide time for both the youth and their leaders to experience a renewal of the Holy Spirit through Spirit-empowered preaching, powerful times of community, and worship. You do not want to miss it! 

Purpose:

The World Assemblies of God Fellowship (WAGF) Next Generation Commission (WAGF NGC) exists to transfer Spirit-empowered passion to children and youth, to create interactive relational environments for national, regional, and global leaders, and to form strategic partnerships among existing and emerging networks to strengthen the future of the Assemblies of God.

Values:

The WAGF NGC seeks to create a culture of honor in the spirit of Malachi 4:6 and Acts 2:17. We affirm the need for intergenerational dialogue, prayer, and ministry. We affirm the need for intentionality during leadership transitions. We affirm the need for local and national churches to prioritize Spirit-empowered preaching and discipleship and demonstrating the Full Gospel to children, youth, and young adults.

Vision:
  1. A functioning youth and children’s program in every general council.
  2. A measurable increase in children and youth in WAGF churches globally.
  3. Create a space for dialogue, prayer, ministry, and strategic partnership at each Triennial WAGF Global Congress.
  4. To serve as a resource for Pentecostal next-gen discipleship, networks, and contacts to the WAGF and affiliated national churches.
  5. To see the release of future ministers, church planters, and missionaries in WAGF general councils.
