History

The General Convention of the Assemblies of God in Brazil has its origins in the mission work of Daniel Berg and Gunnar Vingren, two Swedish Pentecostal missionaries who arrived in Belém, Pará, in 1910.[1] The denomination was officially founded in 1930.[2] In 2003, it had 280,000 churches and 3.5 million members.[3] In 2013, they had, according to themselves, 12 million members, being the largest national convention of the Assembly of God of Brazil.[4]

Controversies

In 2017, 10,000 churches left the Convention and founded the Convention of the Assembly of God in Brazil, due to the non-alternation of leadership and the prohibition of pastoral ministry of women. [5][6]
