Our History

Our history begins in 1904 in Los Angeles, California, during the Azusa Street Revival, when the Assemblies of God was founded. As the revival spread, many Pentecostals recognized the need for more excellent organization and accountability. The founding fathers and mothers of the Assemblies of God convened in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in April 1914 to promote unity and doctrinal stability, establish legal standing, coordinate mission efforts, and create a ministerial training school.  From there, the Assemblies of God in the United States was formed and rapidly expanded.

In 1926, in El Paso, Texas, a couple named Jesus and Jesusita Castellanos opened their home to bring people together to pray and learn more about the Word of God. This is where our church history begins.

In 1926, in El Paso, Texas, a couple named Jesus and Jesusita Castellanos felt compelled to open their home to gather people for prayer and learning about God’s Word; this is how our church began. It wasn’t until May 1930 that the small home group was officially recognized as a church by the Assemblies of God.

Despite changes over the years—its name, pastors, location, and even members—what has never changed is God’s power manifested in people’s lives, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, the passion for lost souls, and an unquenchable hunger to know God.
