What if I told you that one of the largest Protestant families of churches worldwide started with just 300 people? That’s the story of the Assemblies of God, and right here, in front of Southlake Assembly of God Church, we connect with that vibrant history. The Assemblies of God, though not a fan of the term “denomination”, preferring “fellowship”, emerged from the fervor of the Azusa Street Revival in early 20th century Los Angeles. This revival wasn’t always welcomed by established churches, pushing those who embraced Pentecostalism to establish their own congregations, like the Southlake Assembly of God Church. What makes the Assemblies of God unique? Well, imagine a church where dynamic preaching meets a genuine belief in the power of the Holy Spirit. A church where speaking in tongues isn’t just a biblical passage, but a living experience. That’s the heart of the Assemblies of God – a commitment to the core tenets of salvation, baptism in the Holy Spirit, divine healing, and the second coming of Christ. Today, the legacy of those 300 founding members of the Assemblies of God lives on in a global fellowship of millions, their shared history whispering in the very architecture of churches like Southlake Assembly of God Church.
