CHURCH GROWTH
Currently GOA has over 100 churches in Kenya and the neighbouring countries. A Church Growth Director coordinates from the Head office the activities of the churches through a regional administration according to GOA administration structure.

- Cell church is the method we use to disciple and train the new believers in our churches. We follow the four ‘W’ methods. That is Welcome, Worship, Word and Witness. For every cell church to be effective we need people who can lead the cell meeting and the bible study.
- We have a cyber cafe in our Nyeri region for Pastors. This is an income generating programme. It is situated about 105 kilometres north of Nairobi. We need to have people to assist the customers as they access internet. For some clients it is their first time to visit the cyber yet they need to browse.

- The process of making Disciples for Christ starts with evangelism. Church members organise evangelism outreach through crusades, one-on-one evangelism and other methods. Christians who are ready to share the love of Christ with the lost are invited to join in the harvest field.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We believe that for effective leadership training of leaders is key. GOA strives to make this a reality through various programmes which includes ILI, Global Impact Seminars, GEBS etc
