Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church

What Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church does

Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church (d/b/a GT Church) is a multi-site evangelical Christian church headquartered at 1110 Snyder Road, West Lawn, Pennsylvania, operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliated with the Assemblies of God fellowship. The church was founded in 1920 and currently employs approximately 117 staff across pastoral, ministry, operational, and administrative functions. It operates three physical campuses — West Lawn (headquarters), GT North, and GT Reading — plus online services, with Sunday services held at 9 AM and 11 AM across all locations and digital channels.

The church delivers a comprehensive, full-life-stage ministry product portfolio segmented by age and life stage, including GT Kids (birth through 3rd grade), GT Preteens (grades 4-6), GT Student Ministries/GTSM (grades 7-12), GT Young Adults (18-25), GT Single Adults, plus dedicated Care, Prayer, Healing, and Inclusion ministries. Its technology footprint is commodity: live streaming via gtlive.tv, on-demand video and audio podcast, a church management platform, and standard digital marketing channels. There is no proprietary technology product or AI/ML capability. Local outreach is delivered through five core community partnerships (Ashes to Beauty, Hope Rescue Mission, Lighthouse Women & Children's Center, Mercy Ministries, Veterans Making a Difference), and global outreach supports 130+ missionaries worldwide.

The business model is donation-based: revenue derives entirely from voluntary tithes, offerings, and online giving from individual congregants, with no pricing for services (all programs are free). Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven — physical service attendance, small group ("Life Groups") participation, recurring events (Men of God Gatherings, Prayer Nights, Coffee with the Pastor, GroupLink), and digital content serve as both acquisition and retention channels. The church is governed by Lead Pastor Scott Kramer, an Executive Pastor, campus pastors, an Elder and Deacon Board, and a centralized operational leadership team spanning Finance, HR, Communications, Production, Facilities, and Technical Operations.
