Our Story

Pag-Asa Centre is a non-denominational church, established by God in the year 2007. As a church, we are passionate about God’s presence, possess sincere integrity and a deep craving to reach the lost, walk in a spirit-filled faith, grounded in humility and brokenness. We are a registered charity institution by the Charity Commission of the United Kingdom.

Pag-Asa Centre has a God-ordained mandate to present the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the lost, share the love of God, give hope to the hopeless, provide humanitarian aid to the hurting peoples, bring them to membership in His church, help them grow to Christ-like maturity, equip them for the ministry and send them in their life missions.
(Matthew 28:18-20, John 10:10, Isaiah 1:17)

‍ABOUT THE G12 VISION

G12 is a vision, set to see the fulfilment of the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:16-20. It is founded upon the idea that every Christian can mentor and lead 12 people in their faith, following the example set by our Lord, Jesus Christ and His own disciples.

G12 was conceived by Pastor César Castellanos in 1983, after receiving a vision from God instructing him to implement this structure of small groups of 12.

It was first modelled in his church - MCI in Bogotá, Colombia - which he started in his living room with just eight people and now, through the goodness and grace of God, has grown to over 150,000 members. G12, which stands for Government of 12, represents each disciple accepting Jesus Christ as the Lord of their life. It is focused on Jesus' command to the church to ‘go and make disciples of all nations.’

The overall aim of G12 is for everyone to learn about and experience first-hand the transformative power of Jesus' love. Great transformation and growth has been evident and present in churches that have followed this example of mentoring groups of 12.
