Assembly of God

The Assemblies of God is a Christian denomination emphasizing evangelical beliefs, the authority of the Bible, and the importance of personal faith. Founded in 1914, it promotes lively worship, prayer for healing, and the role of the Holy Spirit, including spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues.
