Our Story
From a House Fellowship to a Growing Ministry — Over 50 Years of Faith and Service
How It All Began
In 1971, HIALSMI began as a small house fellowship of just 10 families — 20 people united by a shared vision to spread God's love and serve their community.
Two years later, in 1973, with the generous help of American missionary Mollie E. Baird, the fellowship was blessed with a building and lot. In her honor, the church was named Mollie E. Baird Memorial Assembly of God.
What started as a humble gathering grew into a beacon of hope, faith, and compassion — touching lives and transforming communities for over five decades.
