Does the assembly of god celebrate Lent?

Answer 1

Nope, the Assembly of God typically doesn't do the whole Lent thing. They're more about the whole charismatic, praise and worship, speaking in tongues kind of vibe. So, if you're looking to give up chocolate for 40 days, you might want to check out a different church down the street.

Answer 2

The Assembly of God is a Pentecostal denomination that typically does not observe Lent as a religious practice. Lent is more commonly observed by liturgical Christian traditions such as Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and some mainline Protestant denominations. The Assembly of God places a greater emphasis on the celebration of Pentecost and other aspects of their faith tradition.

Answer 3

The Assemblies of God do not normally observe the rituals of Lent for the 40 days before Easter. Lent is viewed in churches that observe the season as a time of spiritual preparation for Easter. Fasting, doing penance, and abstaining from worldly amusements are supposed to parallel the passion and suffering of Jesus prior to and during the Crucifixion. The Assemblies of God believes in fasting, repenting, and avoiding The Temptations of worldly activity, but we believe self-denial and sacrifice should be a lifestyle rather than just a special effort once a year. Many Assemblies of God pastors participate in community Holy Week activities (the week before Easter) commemorating the events of the last week of Christ's life.
