In the 90s. in our country, many religious organizations began to be promoted, which appeared from abroad, taking advantage of the religious vacuum that developed in the days of the USSR. There were many Protestant trends. It is to them that a religious organization called the Church of God can be attributed . Yaroslavl is the city where this community is located.
Let's talk about this organization in more detail.
What is this religious community?
This organization belongs to Pentecostals - one of the areas of the so-called evangelical Christians. This is one of the many directions in Protestantism.
This organization was founded in 1991. Although so far many residents of the city do not even realize that there is such a community - the Church of God, Yaroslavl is a city of many thousands, and there are a fairly large number of traditional Orthodox churches there. Although this Protestant community is actively working among residents, especially supporters of this religious movement are trying to attract young people to their side, using, among other things, methods of psychological suggestion.
There are pastors in this church who, together with believers, worship according to the Protestant canons, relying on the holy texts of the Bible.
God's Church (Yaroslavl) - a well-known religious organization in the city, in addition to divine services, adherents of this church hold concerts, celebrations, and charity events. However, in the city itself, this organization is viewed differently, often calling it a sect. There are numerous complaints to the prosecutor's office about her activities.
What is this religious organization famous for?
This organization is known primarily for actively trying to work with a media environment. It is no secret that most young people live much more on the Internet today than anywhere else.
Therefore, in social networks we can see groups of this church, they are also on other media resources. Proponents of this religious movement try to arrange joint prayers using the Internet, attracting even those who are not an official member of this church to these prayers.
Young Church Preachers
God's church (Yaroslavl) is well known both for its pastors and simply preachers of faith. Their videos are posted on all popular video resources. These are sermons about faith, the place of this faith in human life, and so on. Preachers try to speak with their flock in a language they understand, use images and plots from biblical texts.
Most of all, a preacher is known in this vein, whose name is Sergey Lukyanov, the Church of God (Yaroslavl) can rightfully be proud of this young man who so boldly sets forth the teachings of Pentecostals.
