Isaiah 6:8 I heard the voice of the Lord saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?"

International Assembly of God was planted in Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of the first Indian Pentecostal Church in Arizona, Phoenix. Began in August, 1997 with a vision of Pastor Roy Cheriyan who was then a Bible School student in Chicago, when the migrants from India were very negligible in the state. The church is founded on Jesus Christ the eternal Rock. We are committed to - the sound Pentecostal doctrines, the great vision & passion for saving souls by exemplifying the love of Christ and interceding for the needy. Also, while keeping the taste and experience of our traditional Malayalam Pentecostal Worship, we accommodate every other language group through contemporary and vibrant worship lead by Spirit filled young ones.

We welcome all language groups from India. We practice a very lively praise & worship in Malayalam & English. Also, we try and accommodate Hindi & Tamil songs for our multi-linguistic congregation members. Presently we have attendees from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Bhopal, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra etc. Also, we have several American families regularly attend our worship service. They testify that this is a lively church and Holy Spirit is present.

We conduct Sunday School for all age groups with a very systematic curriculum. One of our Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) members, Christy Thomas was the recipient of a best quizzer award for the 2006-07 season. Our Teen Bible Quiz (TBQ) team was placed second in the state of Arizona for the 2006-07 seasons. They went on to compete in the Regional (western states) last year. Our youth group is vibrant & has been an encouragement for others in their own age group. They do have youth meetings every month which include fasting prayers and intercessory prayer times. This year, we have 2 teams for TBQ and our young men and women are memorizing each chapter of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians & Philemon. Also, our JBQ has 2 teams this year and are top-notch team matching with other churches in their deep knowledge of the word of God.
