As we said elsewhere, we are proud to be part of Assemblies of God GB. Click on the logo to visit their website.
AoG is just one of a number of Pentecostal groups in this country and the Pentecoastal movement worldwide is a massive proportion of the worldwide church with hundreds of millions of adherants. It began around the turn of the 20th Century and spread to many countries of the world (and has continued to do so ever since).
A group of leaders from these UK churches met together in the early 1920s and decided to form a network (or in the terms they used, fellowship) of affiliated independent churches who would be connected together in relationship and cooperation. These independent churches would then have a covering of accountability whilst still preserving their autonomy. Assemblies of God groups exist all over the world but in many cases structure themselves quite differently to the UK fellowship.
AoG is led by a National Leader and team, supported a Board of Directors and local Area leaders and teams. There has been a focus on the key three areas of Mission, Church Health and Leadership Development, and at the 2022 conference in May, the vision and strategy was presented to plant 400 churches over the next 6 years, taking our total of GB churches to just over 1000.
