We are a Bible-based, Spirit-filled Pentecostal church located in Abu Dhabi, gathering at St. Andrew\u2019s Church compound. United Bethel Assembly of God (UBAG) is led by Pastor Siju Scaria, associated with Pastor Benny P. John and Pastor William Joseph in various church ministries. Looking back over the past decades, UBAG was originally two separate Pentecostal churches: Bethel Church of God, founded by the late Pastor P.J. Abraham in 1989, and Assemblies of God formed by Pastor K.J. George in 1990. Both pastors served the churches while working full-time jobs, and through their vision and dedication, the churches experienced significant growth from humble beginnings.<\/p>\n

In early 2023, both churches unanimously decided to merge, symbolizing the unity of Pentecostal churches and their shared doctrine. This strategic move led to the formation of the United Bethel Assembly of God and played a key role in the growth and expansion of the church, establishing it as one of the leading Malayalam Pentecostal Assembly in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

The church will remain unwavering in its commitment to the cause of Christ. We will stay focused on our mission, alert to the times, and devoted to fulfilling the purposes He has called us to, until His return, when we will be caught up to be with Him forever.<\/p>\n
