Welcome to Astoria First Assembly of God church!

We are beyond excited that you are here visiting our Website and we want you to know that we've got a place for you!! Why don’t you Gather your family and Worship with us this Sunday! YOU BELONG HERE!

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, it’s the perfect time to be thankful for all the blessings that God has bestowed upon us and to celebrate God’s faithfulness in each of our lives.

Take a moment everyday to express gratitude to God for everything that He has done for you. This Thanksgiving is a great reminder to begin to give Him thanks and praise, continuously.

From our church to your house, we would like to take a moment to wish you and your family a very blessed Thanksgiving! We love and appreciate all of you!!

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Colossians 3:15-17

If you are looking for a place to connect and grow in your faith, we invite you to join us this Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 10:30 AM, as we gather for our In-Person Worship Service and an inspirational message from Pastor Nick Buhler.

Our church is a Bible-based, Spirit-empowered church where you'll find a place to belong. Experience uplifting worship and a caring community!

We are a church that cares about people and we are here to support you. Whether you are facing challenges or simply seeking fellowship, you'll find a place to do life together with a community of believers.

Come as you are, and let's worship together. We look forward to having you with us.

Romans 15:7: Therefore, welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. Christians welcome one another for the glory of God because Christ welcomed us for the glory of God.

We welcome you to become a part of our church family, if you don’t already have one. And, if you're new to the area, we'd love to give you a tour and help you get connected. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. We're here to support you on your spiritual journey. We are a community of people on a spiritual journey together. With that being said, we hope you'll take the time to join us for worship this Sunday!

We want to take a moment to extend a very warm welcome to all of you who might be considering visiting us for the very first time! Whether you are just having a look or searching for a place to Worship, we would be delighted to have you with us.

And, if you haven’t been to church in a while…No worries! We’re saving a seat for you. Please join us!

Astoria First Assembly of God Church is a Bible-based, evangelistic, Spirit-empowered church. At Astoria First AG, we’re all about people. We’re all about people because God is all about people. One of the ways we express our love for Him is through our love for people, and we do that by helping each person who comes to Astoria First AG grow in their relationship with the Lord.

As a group of God’s people, we care about you and your family, and we’re here to not only feed you spiritually, but to help you in any way we can. We love doing it and that is why we exist.

God has a beautiful plan for your life. And He wants to be intimately involved in our lives. He wants us to know His voice and follow Him. In fact, He wanted to be with us so strongly that He sent His Son, a part of Himself, to physically walk the earth.

Let this be God’s gift to you: Take a step of faith and believe that God loves you intimately, He has a great plan for your life, and His promises are true.

Why not make some time this weekend to attend church. We were never meant to do life alone...we were created to do life WITH others!

We’re here for you. The people in our church are so friendly and welcoming. So whether it's your first time joining us at Astoria First Assembly or you're a regular attender, please come out and join us. Spending time with other people can help you get through a period of loneliness. Remember, Life is Better in a Group! Let's Do Life Together!

If you are going through a difficult time in your life at the moment, please know this one thing--we were never meant to do life alone, we were created to do life WITH others!

Whatever your circumstances, remember that what we are celebrating here is hope. If you’re not able to wrap your arms around the noise of the season, then just wrap your fingers around that simple truth.

We trust that you will make joining us at Church a part of your weekend plans. With a relevant message, engaging worship, and plenty of activities for the whole family, this Sunday will be a celebration @ Astoria First Assembly which you don’t want to miss!

Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary worship, we invite you to celebrate the good news in Jesus Christ with us as you worship with us!

The Holy Spirit is always THE true Worship Leader. He’s leading us to glorify Jesus, revealing Jesus to our hearts, and performing miracles in our midst. When the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the Hunger of His people collide, there’s no telling what could happen.

We aren’t simply gathering to worship – we’re worshipping the Father, our merciful God, our great Redeemer, etc.

Worship is about honoring and praising our Lord and Savior. It is a time when we gather together to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit, and express our joy and gratitude. The power of God’s word touches those who are hurting and awakens hope for the hopeless.

Worship is anything you do that declares the worth of the Lord, which deepens your relationship with Jesus, and urges others to follow after him. That is to say, worship changes as our relationship with Jesus grows deeper.

When was the last time you went before the Lord, and just listened? Worship can be very active, with singing, fellowship, and public church services, but there comes a point where our worship must include being still, and meditating on God’s word.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:6‬ (KJV)

If you have children, we want to let you know that our Children's Ministries staff offers an amazing Kid's Church experience for your children downstairs in the Fellowship Hall every Sunday following worship.

We invite you to bring your child to church every Sunday to interact with other kids and learn from the word of God! We strive towards providing a safe, kid-friendly environment for children to grow closer to Jesus and His church.

Remember—You are Invited! We hope you will join us for church this Sunday! Let’s Get Connected! We invite you to come and experience life with us.

You don't want to miss this special service.

At Astoria First Assembly of God Church, we value membership. To us, our church is more than a platform for preaching and furthering the gospel—we’re a community of believers.

In the same way that the physical body has different, interconnected members, Paul tells us that we are “members one of another.”

While you could remain a guest of Astoria First Assembly of God Church or even a regular attendee of our weekend services, the real value of Astoria First Assembly begins with membership. Membership implies a commitment to the Astoria First Assembly of God family. It’s your way of saying, “Count on me!” In turn, we promise to commit Astoria First Assembly of God resources to meet your spiritual needs. That’s our way of saying, “You can count on us!”

Joining Astoria First Assembly of God Church allows you to be a part of a powerful kingdom community and receive the blessings and benefits of being a member. You can become a member of Astoria First Assembly by attending our Membership Class on Sunday, December 7, 2025, immediately following our morning worship service.
