About Emerge Church

A warm, multi-generational Pentecostal church under the Assemblies of God in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

We are Emerge

We are a Pentecostal church under the Assemblies of God in Taman Connaught, Cheras. Our congregation is children, youths, young adults, working adults and families from across the Klang Valley.

Our services are mainly in Mandarin, with English alongside.

We value real relationships, discipleship and contemporary worship rooted in the work of the Holy Spirit. We also care about whole-person health and life at work, and we help people live out their faith there and grow as leaders.

Vision and mission

Equip disciples, transform lives, raise generations.

God has always given Emerge the same vision: to raise a community of spiritual leaders who are devoted, love one another, and are committed to discipleship and evangelism. We believe transformation begins with well-equipped disciples and carries on through people who answer God’s call.

Our mission is to equip disciples, transform lives and raise generations who live out their faith and advance God’s Kingdom.

Our church is built on Love, Passion and Courage. We love as Christ loves us: we welcome everyone, build real relationships, and live out grace and truth.

We serve God with passion, worshipping wholeheartedly and staying faithful to His calling. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we live with courage, standing firm in our faith and answering God’s mission in every season of life.

Senior Pastor's message

As God led my team and I through the steps of establishing Emerge Church, I deeply sensed that this is a calling to reignite lives. I often pray that the church would not merely be a place of gathering, but a home where people are genuinely accompanied through life’s ups and downs, rediscovering God and their own identity.

Emerge Church exists to help this generation rediscover direction amidst the struggles of daily hustles. We believe that everyone carries the potential to be loved, restored, and developed. "Emerge" is not just about passion; it is about love being awakened from within and courageously living out who God created us to be.

If this is your first time exploring a church, you may have questions, weariness, or uncertainty about whether you belong. I want you to know this: you need not be perfect to come to God. Here, we learn together, grow together, and walk alongside one another. Wherever you are in life, you are welcome to visit us, discover, and experience God together.

I firmly believe that God is doing a new work in this generation. I sincerely invite you to step into Emerge Church, and together let us see lives ignited and become a blessing to others.

What we believe

We are a church under the Assemblies of God of Malaysia, and we fully affirm the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God as our doctrinal foundation. They cover the core teachings of the Christian faith: the inspiration and authority of Scripture, one true God revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the deity and saving work of Jesus Christ, the fall and redemption of humanity, and the hope of Christ’s return.

They also state our Pentecostal convictions: salvation by grace through faith, water baptism and Holy Communion, the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit, the baptism in the Holy Spirit with accompanying spiritual gifts, divine healing, holy living, the mission of the Church, and the future resurrection and eternal reign of Christ. They give our life, teaching and ministry clear direction, unity and accountability.

The Bible is God’s inspired Word and the final authority for faith and life. We believe in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived a sinless life, died for our sins and rose from the dead, and offers salvation to all who repent and believe. The Holy Spirit is still at work today, empowering believers to live holy lives and to serve God with spiritual gifts. The Church is called to worship God, make disciples and proclaim the gospel to the world, and we wait in hope for Jesus Christ’s return and the fulfillment of God’s eternal kingdom.
