Azuza Street

Azusa Street was a historic revival meeting held in Los Angeles in 1906, which became the birthplace of the modern Pentecostal movement. Led by preacher William J. Seymour, it featured spontaneous worship, speaking in tongues, and faith healing. The revival attracted diverse attendees and emphasized personal spiritual experience and the direct work of the Holy Spirit. Azusa Street's impact extended globally, influencing contemporary evangelical and charismatic Christianity by highlighting energetic worship styles, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's power, and promoting racial integration within church practices.
