10 Things to Know about their History & Beliefs

6. The Assemblies of God's International Cooperation

The World Fellowship unites Assemblies of God (https://www.christianity.com/church/denominations/what-is-

the-assemblies-of-god-history-and-beliefs.html) national assemblies from around the world synchronically in
cooperation. Each national council is wholly self-governing and autonomous and association with the World
Fellowship does not restrict their independence. The operation of the World Fellowship is conducted by the
Executive Council and its members represent different regions of the world and serve three-year terms. Africa, Asia
Pacific, Latin America/Caribbean, and North America each have four representatives while Europe has three and
the Middle East and Southern Asia each has one.

Council members are elected by the General Assembly. Each World Fellowship member is authorized to send one
or more delegates to the General Assembly with one vote. The World Assemblies of God Relief Agency conducts
its humanitarian work and at the national and local levels, the Assemblies of God are generally organized by a
form of Presbyterian (https://www.christianity.com/church/denominations/presbyterians-10-things-to-know-
about-this-historic-denomination.html) sovereignty, joining the independence of the local church with oversight
by region and national councils.
