HEMPSTEAD ASSEMBLY

A MOSTLY VOLUNTEER
ORGANIZATION

MISSION

Hempstead Assembly of God is called to connect and train believers in Christ to a life of devotion and service to the Lord, to the church and to the community as well as, to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.  

VISION

Loving God, Loving Each Other, One Day at A Time

Our Church

The Glad Tidings Church, as it was to be called, would hold its first public assembly in a store front facility already rented at 155 Henry Street in Hempstead on February 11th, 1940. Kenneth Solberg, one of the founders, would be named the first pastor.

Today, our Sanctuary building has been expanded to accommodate our church class rooms and lobby area. Having capsulized the history of the physical development of the assembly we acknowledge the faithfulness of God, for indeed it is His work. We also recognize that physical growth without spiritual growth - is vanity! Every inch of progress every step and phase of development in the Kingdom of God is borne of steadfast prayer and intercession and spiritual motivation. We thank God for each of the Pastors, the spiritual motivators, each "man of the hour", building on the foundation laid in that home meeting on January 27th, 1940, and the greater foundation - which is Christ Jesus

Hempstead Assembly is a volunteer oriented Church. It is led by a Pastoral Staff , supported by our Deacon and Trustee Boards and energized for service and mercy by Ministry Leaders and Ministry Servers. Our many children's, youth, adult, pantry and outreach ministries are filled with volunteer leadership.  But we have a few strategically placed staff whose task is to nurture, encourage and equip. At Hempstead Assembly we know it takes some time to get involved, but we believe every Christian can serve God and others through the ways God has gifted and equipped them.
