Arakkonam Pentecostal Assembly started in the year of 1986 on 6th July at Arakkonam, Vellore dist, Tamilnadu.
Pr. J. Premkumar is the founder and president of this church, after his calling in the year of 1984. Since
onwards he start to preach the gospel in the surrounding villages of Arakkonam. Through him Holy Spirit moved
on his ministry according to MARK 16:17-20 and many of them were healed, Lord Jesus Christ used him in a
mighty way. Through him many souls came forward to accept Jesus as savior. In the apt time the church started
on 6th July 1986.
The first church was started at “Sali amma” house site No: 31, Mosur road, Arakkonam.
It was taken for rent, There the Church services and all other activities went on for twelve years from
1986 to 1998. At that period every year the convention and gospel meetings was conducted at the Railway mixed
high school ground with the help of some believers of the church who worked in Southern Railway.
After twelve years with the help of believers through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and by donation the place
bought where we are now. That is totally four grounds, will come nearly 22 cent of land, which is situated in
No: 123, Mosur road, Arakkonam. In 1998 we put thatched Roof of coconut leaves & bamboos.
The dimension of the building was 85’ X 22’; normally the Roof should be change once in two years. But every
year we forcing to change the roof because of natural calamity, it was very hard for us.
After Eight years, in the year of 2006 we started to construct the present building slowly step by step with the
physical & financial help of believers and some other god’s people, we constructed and finished the building in the
year of 2010.
It was dedicated by Dr. Stella Dhinakaran the founder of “JESUS CALLS MINISTRY” chennai.

We have Gloriously stepped into the 29th year, our vision by 2020 - Ten Churches should be established,
we want to raise Ten Pastors from our Church and at present we are Three Hundred and Fifty believers but we
want to raise this to Thousand Souls before 2020 and we would like to improve and develop our Youth’s Biblical
knowledge and Wisdom like Ezra. (Ezra; 7:6, 10)
Now we have only ground floor, In future we wants to build 3 tiers and we wants to build churches in different
places as branch churches.
Now we are running Branch Churches in two places and there we are conducting services in the rented house due
to un-availability of own site. One place is called Melpodavur (Near Kancheepuram) and another in Pakala at
Andrapradesh (Near Tirupathi); which is one hundred and ten kilometers from Arakkonam.
In upcoming years we have planned to extend the Lord’s Ministry and bring many more souls to our Lord’s Kingdom.
