Assemblies of God Lesotho was established in 1909 in Makoabating at Mount Tabor, in 1910 the first Old Church was constructed and later the Mission House was built in 1917. The Church is found all over the country even in the remote places of Lesotho. Through the assistance from our Missionaries from Switzerland and USA the church has established schools, Health Centres and Bible College to advance the mission of the church to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God. | |||
The overall government of the church is the General Council which sits one in every 2 years to elect the leadership of the church (Executive Committee) other structures are the districts Councils which have their own autonomy in running their respective district affairs. Currently we have 5 Districts, namely Maseru District Council, Mafeteng District Council, Northern District council, Southern District council and Mountain District Council | |||
The overall number of churches of Assemblies of God Lesotho is 130 country wide and about 120 ministers. <ref>'"Assemblies of God: Beginnings", https://ccl.org.ls/hoc/aog/, accessed 13 March 2020.</ref> | |||
