ASSEMBLIES OF GOD EARLY BEGINNINGS IN AMERICA

The Assemblies of God denomination has its roots in the religious revival that started during the late 1800’s and continued through the early 1900’s.

The revival was characterized by a widespread experience of spiritual manifestations,

such as speaking in tongues and supernatural healing, giving birth to the Pentecostal movement.

a prominent figure in this history is Charles Parham.

He started a Bible School in Topeka, Kansas, where students came to learn about the Word of God.

There he emphasized the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as a key factor in one’s walk of faith.

During the Christmas holiday of 1900, Parham asked his students to study the Bible to discover the biblical evidence for the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

From this experience, the Assemblies of God denomination can trace its belief that “Speaking in Tongues” is the biblical evidence for the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The revival quickly spread to Missouri and Texas, and eventually to California and beyond.

Pentecostal believers from around the world gathered at the Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles for a three year (1906–1909) revival meeting.
