Although Aglow has an overarching mission and identity, each local group is allowed to develop ministries which are best suited to the immediate needs and social characteristics of its community. Aglow is concerned with every aspect of believer's lives, and this is reflected in a diversity of ministry programs. Aglow's activities include small group studies, care (support) groups, retreats, and annual conferences. Aglow groups also offer practical gifts of clothing, food, house cleaning, and babysitting, as well as the mentorship of young people. They impact their communities by reaching out to people in prison, in senior homes, inner city neighborhoods, and mental institutions; to single moms, as well as to the next door neighbor.
