About Eden Assembly of God

Eden Assembly of God began on the 7th of November, 1993. Led by Pastor Geoff and Joanne Wiklund with the support of Takapuna A.O.G. and a small group that God called together. They had been praying for some time about the vision God gave to pastor Geoff. The first service was in the chapel at Radio Rhema.

From here the Church moved to the Mt Eden War Memorial hall. The Church now leases its offices in Waterview (click here for location information) and have a 4.30pm meeting at 218 Mt Albert Road, Sandringham.

One of the foundation stones of the Church is prayer. Pastor Geoff and Joanne were fortunate enough to visit Korea and came back with a real vision and passion to pray. The Church since then has met for prayer early 4 mornings a week at 6.15am (Mon - Fri excl.Wednesday) plus Sunday morning.

Ministries & Associations
The Church has been particularly active in Missions. It sends teams regularly to Africa and has planted a work in Eldoret, Kenya. At present the Church is networking with Tear Fund to set up a sponsorship programme for the children in the slums there. They have planted an international Church in Eldoret pastored by Joseph and Alice Mulaa.

The Church also has links with Christian Ministries with Disabled Trust. Each year the Church sends a team to help out at the annual camp in Matamata. Because of this involvement the Church caters for a number of people with disabilities and welcomes them in the love of Jesus.

The Church also has strong links with Promise Keepers. Pastor Geoff was the chairman of Promise Keepers New Zealand and many of the Church members assist at the local and national events. Needless to say, ministry to men is a high priority. A group called Champions meets with the pastor every month to be discipled and grow in the Lord.

The Church runs many different small groups. These include 4 Wheel Drive accountability groups and Bible study groups. The Church also uses material from Lifeway International like "Experiencing God", "The Mind of Christ", "Breaking Free" and many more. Also we use the Crown Financial Course, which has helped many who have been struggling financially.
