Activities
Praise
We believe that our faith in Jesus is not just for a Sunday! Various other meetings take place including Genesis Youth, which is not only available to the youth of Glen Aros but to the un-churched youth of Dumfries. There are men’s meetings which take place as well as the ladies of Glen Aros who have their own special evenings to encourage one another.
Bible studies and housegroups are also very much to the fore of church life. We are at present working on a new social event calendar which could range from leisurely walks to mountain biking and everything in between!
Our mission, ministry and social action
Glen Aros has a heart to share the Good News of Jesus Christ in word, deed and action. We are encouraged from the Bible to be not only hearers of the Word but doers.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God, and we believe the Holy Spirit is continuing the work He started at Pentecost empowering believers to live a godly life and continue in all the works of Jesus.
Worship
Glen Aros has strong links with Uganda, Cambodia and others, and it is wonderful to see how a local church in Dumfries, empowered by the Holy Spirit, can change the lives of the people of other nations.
A team has recently returned from Uganda where they were seeing for themselves the difference that fresh water from the well they financed has greatly blessed the people who live near Kampala.
The mission of Glen Aros is to share the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world, to see the ministry of the Holy Spirit come alive in the life of the believers and to help meet the practical needs of the people who we encounter.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive statement of all we believe but serves to show our belief in the fundamental truths that have under girded the true Christian faith from its inception through to this present day.
History
Andrew Wommack Ministries
Back in the mid eighties a small group of people became born again through the preaching of the gospel by the minister in a church denomination. The gospel was not popular with the majority of the congregation and the minister left, so this small group decided to leave and started meeting regularly as a house church.
Eventually the numbers attending became too big for the house and it was decided to meet publicly in a community centre so a name would be required for the group.
The house where the meetings were held was called Glen Aros, so it was agreed that the name should be Glen Aros Christian Fellowship. For around the last 10 years we have met in the Stakeford & Summerville Community Centre. It is a council owned building but managed by a Management Committee made up of people from Glen Aros.
Glen Aros has grown greatly over the years and now is very active locally, nationally and internationally.
