About our worship
We believe that true worship is a way of life. Our Pentecostal way of worship is vibrant and guided by Biblical principles. We affirm the Bible’s command to exercise a variety of "spiritual gifts" in our services (1Cor. 14:26). We believe that our services should demonstrate a diversity of worship expressions in a unified corporate setting. At our services you will enjoy regular times of singing, congregational prayer, and worship through the ministry of God’s Word.
What to Expect When Visiting an Assemblies of God Church
Variety…that’s what you’ll find when you visit our services. But one thing you should expect in every Assemblies of God church is a personal, uplifting worship experience. Our services are geared for participation. We typically worship as we live, with enthusiasm!
Our History
The Assemblies of God has its roots in a religious revival that began in the late 1800s. In 1914 both preachers and laymen gathered from 20 states and several foreign countries for a "general council" in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Learn more about our history. For extensive historical and archival information, visit the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center.
Our Beliefs
The 16 doctrinal standards of the A/G can be found in our Statement of Fundamental Truths. As the need arises to make a statement on a controversial issue, leaders of the fellowship approve an official statement. These statements are better known as position papers.
Statistics
More than 2.5 million people worship in over 12,000 Assemblies of God churches across the United States. Statistical data is collected each year for the ministers, ministries and missions work of the fellowship.
