Who you will see

Pastor/Bishop. The service will be conducted by a fully trained pastor or bishop. These are men of God (and in some countries also women) who have embraced the ministry on a full time basis. They do not have other employment and their only aim is to serve God by serving and helping the congregation and others in the community that need assistance. On gaining more experience, pastors may then be chosen to serve as bishops.

Assistant Pastor. Assistant pastors will also be present in the services and their role is to assist the pastor or bishop. They also have embraced the ministry full-time to help others. After some years of experience, many of them will be consecrated to become a pastor.

Assistants. Assistants are voluntary helpers who dedicate some of their free time outside their daily life of work, family, domestic duties etc, to this calling. They have been chosen from among the congregation to assist the assistant pastors, pastors and bishops and to serve the members of the church.

You will find that most bishops, pastors, assistant pastors, and assistants have been through personal problems in the past before they started attending the church.

Through the teaching and prayers they received at the UCKG, they used their faith and overcame these situations. They have all had a personal encounter with God and have undergone a transformation of self. They are therefore willing and capable of assisting you through difficult situations.

Please introduce yourself to one of them who will be more than happy to sit down and speak with you for however long you need. Alternatively, call (02) 9602-9837 to book an appointment.

More about prayer

UCKG clergy and members believe that prayer is effective in helping people to live better and happier lives, and that spiritual healing can result from prayer. Those who pray often seem to gain a sense of peace and communion with God and resolve their problems as a result.

Prayer seems to work more quickly for some people than others – depending on the individual, their faith and attitude towards God and prayer.

A Chain of Prayer is regular prayer over a period of seven weeks. People generally commit to making chains of prayer to resolve some issue that is troubling them. Chains of Prayer are made by the person seeking an answer, together with a Pastor and members of the congregation.

UCKG's experience is that on average, people feel better during the course of a Chain of Prayer and that the optimum effect occurs within about a year.
