Established as an outgrowth of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival among Pentecostals in the U.S., the General Council of the Assemblies of God was formed in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in April 1914 as a broad coalition of ministers who desired to work together to fulfill common objectives, such as sending missionaries around the world and providing fellowship and accountability.

"This centennial event will be a moment of revival, a moment of celebration and a moment of focusing on our mission, to complete the great unfinished task of ensuring every person has a chance to hear of Jesus' love for them," said Dr. George O. Wood, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God. "This 100th anniversary gives us the opportunity to focus on what God still has for us to do as we look with joy to our past history, give thanks for the present and look forward to what we still have to accomplish in the future."

Following its formation in 1914, the Assemblies of God quickly took root in other countries and formed indigenous national organizations. The Assemblies of God throughout the world now exceeds 67.5 million adherents, including more than 3.1 million members in the U.S. The denomination has experienced 24 years of consecutive growth, bucking the trend among most other U.S. denominations in recent years.
