Church Verification Report
What we checked
- Not a duplicate: no similarly named church is listed with us
- The name reads as a real congregation
- Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)
- The address given (aobpk.com) did not answer when we tried it, with and without www; a mistyped address says nothing about the congregation itself
- Independent web search performed: see the findings on the right
What we found
We searched for "Assembly of Believers Church" with Lahore and Pakistan, and for the bare word "aobpk", and found no page, directory entry, map listing or news item for a congregation of this name in Lahore or anywhere in Pakistan. Every result with this name belongs to India instead, where the Assembly of Believers' Church In India is a neocharismatic Episcopal denomination founded in 1973 with several hundred churches (Wikipedia), with branch pages in Lucknow, Amritsar, Nagpur, Jamshedpur, Pune and Mumbai (Facebook) and a Kharar listing in India (ZoomInfo, business.site). We also tried to confirm the given address aobpk.com, including on site-builder domains, and the term "aobpk" returned only unrelated medical and scientific abbreviations, so no matching page for a Lahore church was located. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The signup gives a specific church name, a named leader (Bishop Yousaf Sohail) and a Lahore location, all of which are plausible for a small Pakistani congregation, and nothing negative is on record about the name. However, the website address provided (aobpk.com) does not resolve, and an independent search found no page, directory entry or map listing for an Assembly of Believers Church in Lahore or anywhere in Pakistan, with all similarly named
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
