The Assemblies of God

The Assemblies of God are a theologically conservative, Protestant Christian denomination within the Pentecostal tradition which means the denomination accepts the present, active reality of the Holy Spirit in daily life, including the gifts of the Spirit such as speaking in tongues, faith healing and prophecy.  It was officially incorporated as an organization in 1914 and currently has approximately 2,575,000 members with 12,084 churches in the United States.  The Assemblies of God is the 10th largest religious group in the country.

The Assemblies of God participation in the FACT project included a survey of 958 churches randomly chosen from a listing of all A/G congregations in the United States.  A total of 619 questionnaires were returned for a 64.6% response rate.  View the version of the questionnaire used by the Assemblies of God.

If you are interested in obtaining specific information about the results of the Assemblies of God survey, please get in touch with their official contact person Efraim Espinoza at EMEspinoza@ag.org.  

Several additional persons were involved in collecting the Assemblies of God information. Sherri Doty was a key researcher and Efraim Espinoza is the person charged with encouraging denominational congregations to use this information.
