Features
The Church of God was founded in 1964 in South Korea, the easternmost land, by Christ Ahnsahnghong in accordance with the prophecies of the Bible. Four decades later, in November 2005, the Church was established in Portugal, marking its presence at the westernmost edge of Europe.
The Church’s mission in Portugal began with young Korean members, and was later reinforced by visits from Korean short-term mission teams. As local members visited Korea through Overseas Visiting Group program, their faith deepened, contributing to the rapid growth of the Church in Lisbon. In Lisbon, a city with a deeply rooted Catholic heritage, an increasing number of people continue to seek the truth of the new covenant and join the Church of God.[1]
In addition to sharing the hope of heaven and the love of Christ through the gospel, members of the Church of God in Lisbon actively participate in a wide range of volunteer initiatives that support national and community development. Their efforts include environmental protection, assistance for underprivileged neighbors, and emergency relief activities. Cleanup campaigns are conducted in high-traffic areas such as Belém Park, a popular public space, and Rossio Square, helping foster cleaner and more pleasant urban environments. The Church also hosts blood drives to assist patients affected by blood shortages. Moreover, young adult members of ASEZ, the Church of God’s university student volunteer group, visit nursing homes to bring comfort and joy to the elderly.
