A century of faith. That’s what this place represents. The Assembl\u00e9ia de Deus em Tr\u00eas Cora\u00e7\u00f5es. It’s a powerful statement isn’t it?
This building stands as a testament to the Assemblies of God’s enduring legacy in Rio de Janeiro. It’s a part of a larger story. A story that began far from here. In 1911 two Swedish missionaries Daniel Berg and Gunnar Vingren arrived in Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1. They established the Miss\u00e3o de F\u00e9 Apost\u00f3lica. This later became the Assembleia de Deus.
The movement spread rapidly. From the Amazon villages to the bustling cities of the South and Southeast. It’s a story of perseverance. Of faith overcoming obstacles. By the late 1920s the church had reached Rio de Janeiro. Gunnar Vingren’s transfer to the capital in 1924 provided a significant boost.
The Assembl\u00e9ia de Deus faced challenges. There were schisms and splits. Many independent conventions and ministries emerged. Yet the core beliefs remained strong. A belief in the Bible as the ultimate authority. The belief in the vicarious death of Christ and the baptism of adults by immersion. The importance of tithing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The church’s growth is truly remarkable.
Today the Assemblies of God boasts millions of members across Brazil. The Assembl\u00e9ia de Deus em Tr\u00eas Cora\u00e7\u00f5es is a vital part of this network. It’s a place of worship.

The Assembl\u00e9ia de Deus continues to evolve. It’s a dynamic institution. One that has shaped not just the spiritual landscape of Brazil but also its political scene. The church’s influence extends far beyond its walls. It’s a testament to the power of faith. A powerful force for social change.
