This article analyzes the constitution of the young at Assemblies of God church in contemporary world, based on theoretical and methodological references of Cultural Studies in Education and sociological and anthropological studies in youth and religion. The research methodology has consisted of the ethnographical insertion next to the youth of Evangelical Assemblies of God church in Novo Hamburgo, Brazil, in 2011 and 2012, and in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2013. It infers that there are reconfigurations in the ways of the constitution of subjects in contemporary world, perceived in the ways of belonging and experiencing the condition of being evangelical. This fact does not remit the ways of juvenile resistance, but new ways of existence evoked by the condition of being young, since the young aim to live according to their juvenile condition and, at the same time, to keep on being carriers of the salvation promise.
