Our History

Pathway Assembly was founded in 1936 by a group of Migrant Workers of South
Texas. They felt the need to have fellowship with Spirit-filled
believers and their first Pentecostal Service was under a
tree at the old
Guadalupe
Neighborhood.
Since then, we have strived to continue that Biblical Pentecostal Heritage.
We are a group of believers that hold steadfast to the Biblical pattern of
the Primitive Church. As you join with us in worship to our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, expect to encounter the anointing presence of the Holy
Spirit. The living waters of the divine presence of our Heavenly
Father can fill you and bring not only salvation if you are in need of it
but also the deliverance power to free you from all your spiritual,
physical, moral or social situations.
We
have continue to be "The Church For All The Family."
OUR BELIEF
The are: 1)Salvation
through Jesus Christ who proved the supreme sacrifice for sin (John
3:16,17; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8,9); 2)Divine healing for the sick as
proved in Christ's death (Jams 5:14-16); 3)The Second Coming of
Christ as He returns for those who have accepted Him (1 Thessalonians
4:16,17; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52); and 4) baptism in the Holy Spirit
for empowering believers (Acts 1:8; 2:4,17,18,38, 39)
OUR TEACHINGS
- WE BELIEVE...The
Scriptures are Inspired by God and
declare His design and plan for mankind.
- WE BELIEVE...There
is only One True God–revealed in three
persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
- WE BELIEVE...In
the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son
Jesus was both human and divine.
- WE BELIEVE...though originally good,
Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering
evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
- WE BELIEVE...Every
Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation'
(accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin). [1 of 4 cardinal
doctrines of the A/G]
- WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1)
Water
Baptism by Immersion after repenting of
one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2)
Holy Communion
(the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and
death for our salvation.
- WE BELIEVE...the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation
that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as
it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
- WE BELIEVE...
The Initial Physical
Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’
as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and
the Epistles.
- WE BELIEVE...Sanctification
Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a
declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong
process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to
God and become more Christ like.
- WE BELIEVE...The
Church has a Mission to seek and save all
who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ
and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer
of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the
sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE...A
Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the
Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under
leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship
Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of
believers–the Church.
- WE BELIEVE...Divine
Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today
and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the
cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
- WE BELIEVE...in
The Blessed Hope—When
Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth
(the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have
died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and
Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord
forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
- WE BELIEVE...in
The Millennial Reign of
Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His
second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years.
At that time many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as
the Messiah, the Savior who died for them and all mankind.
- WE BELIEVE...A
Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who
have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to
eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
- WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect
New Heavens and a
New Earth that Christ is preparing for
all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell
with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so
shall we forever be with the Lord!'
