In the 90s. in our country, the promotion of very many religious organizations that appeared from abroad, taking advantage of the religious vacuum that developed during the Soviet era, began to be carried out. There were also many Protestant denominations. It is to them that a religious organization called the Church of God can be attributed. Yaroslavl is the city where this community is located.
Let's talk about this organization in more detail.
What is this religious community?
This organization belongs to the Pentecostals - one of the directions of the so-called evangelical Christians. This is one of the many branches of Protestantism.
This organization was founded in 1991. Although until now, many residents of the city do not even realize that there is such a community - the Church of God, Yaroslavl is a city of many thousands, and there is a fairly large number of traditional Orthodox churches. Although this Protestant community is actively working among the inhabitants, especially supporters of this religious movement are trying toattract young people to their side, using, among other things, methods of psychological suggestion.
This church has pastors who, together with the faithful, perform divine services according to Protestant canons, based on the sacred texts of the Bible.
God's Church (Yaroslavl) is a well-known religious organization in the city, in addition to worship, adherents of this church hold concerts, festive events, and charity events. However, in the city itself, this organization is viewed differently, often calling it a sect. There are numerous complaints to the prosecutor's office about her activities.
What is this religious organization famous for?
This organization is known primarily for its active efforts to work with the media environment. It's no secret that most young people today live on the Internet much more than anywhere else.
Therefore, we can see the groups of this church in social networks, they are also on other media resources. Supporters of this religious trend are trying to arrange joint prayers using the Internet, attracting to these prayers even those who are not an official member of this church.

God's Church (Yaroslavl) is well known for its pastors and just preachers of the faith. Their videos are posted on all popular video resources. These are sermons about faith, the place of this faith in a person's life, and so on. Preachers try to speak to their flock inlanguage they understand, use images and scenes from biblical texts.
The most famous in this vein is the preacher, whose name is Sergey Lukyanov, the Church of God (Yaroslavl) can rightly be proud of this young man, who so boldly expounds the teachings of the Pentecostals.
