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.
