Our DEPARTMENTS
LSAG TODAY
You are warmly welcome to the Living Springs Assemblies of God (LSAG) Church at the University of Ghana, Legon. The Living Springs Assemblies of God (LSAG) is part of the Assemblies of God Churches in Ghana. It is led by Rev. Micheal N. K. Atisu and Associate Pastor Mrs. Susana Atisu, supported by a five-member leadership board. Currently, the Church has a membership of about 250 adults and 80 children.
In the beginning Professors Ebenezer Assibey-Berko, Edward Ofori Sarpong, Naa John Sebiyam Nabilia, Kofi Oduro Afriyie and Mrs. Grace Bentil under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and with the support of Mr. Baba Mahama and then AG General Superintendent Rev. Dr. Simon B. Asore championed the establishment of the LSAG Church.
The mustard seed comprising of seven founding members grew to 104 members comprising 46 active adults, 50 active children and eight members abroad by the time LSAG was celebrating its 5th Anniversary in September 2007 under the theme “Kept by the Power of God.”
Membership comprised mainly members of the University Community and neighbouring communities such as Okponglo, Mempeasem, Shiashie and then Institute or Professional Studies (IPS) now, University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) as well as graduates from the Assemblies of God Campus Ministries (AGCM). Most of the members joined the Church following evangelistic activities embarked on by LSAG such as door-to-door evangelism, sharing of bible-based tracts and open air crusades with the support of the AGCM.
In the future, LSAG under the leadership of the LORD through the Senior Pastor and the Church Board intends to continue executing our mandate as indicated in our vision, mission and objectives as well as venture into territories hitherto unexplored as the Spirit might lead in consonance with the vision of the Assemblies of God Church in Ghana.

Teachers of Sunday School undergo periodic capacity building training sessions to be abreast with new teaching methods to enable effective teaching and character transformation through the Holy Spirit.
