Assemblies of God USA

Who we are
People! That's the story of the Assemblies of God. Over 2.5 million people worship every week in one of nearly 12,000 Assemblies of God churches in the United States of America.

Young and old, married and single, parents and children, people from all walks of life, of every color and many different languages-they have one thing in common, a desire to serve God and share His blessings with still other people.

The Assemblies of God is people who believe in the God of the Bible, and believe He is moving in today's world.

Currently the Assemblies of God USA and Assemblies of God organizations around the world make up the world's largest Pentecostal denomination with some 32 million members and adherents. But numbers fail to tell the real story, and statistics can never meet human needs. People who need help in coming to know God, have problems in their home, or are troubled by any of a multitude of other things that keep people from being happy and fulfilled, need someone who cares.

And that's the message of our Fellowship. Because Jesus cares for people, the Assemblies of God is people who care about each other.

Our Mission
The Assemblies of God is committed to fulfilling a threefold mission. Its primary reason for being is:

1. To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world
2. To be a corporate body in which man may worship God
3. To be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.

We exist to serve God in worship and work, to serve the world in evangelism and compassion, and to serve the church in fellowship, instruction, inspiration, and mutual assistance.

Our Vision
God is at work among us. Before us is the greatest opportunity in the history of the Assemblies of God. We have more people, more open doors, and more resources than ever before. We must seize this moment in faith and with renewed commitment. We stand upon the shoulders of our founders who believed they were called to reach the entire world. We must see the world as they saw it — lost, but loved by God. We must move forward with renewed dependency upon the Holy Spirit to accomplish the Great Commission.

The Assemblies of God launches into the 21st century with unshakable faith in a Sovereign God; unwavering commitment to tell the world about Jesus; and eager anticipation for the day when the Lord returns for a Church without spot or wrinkle. To this end, the Assemblies of God family around the world will gather August 7-10, 2000, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to celebrate the past and rededicate ourselves to the unfinished task He gave His disciples . . .until He comes.
