The Assemblies of God in Great Britain has its origins in the beginning of Pentecostalism in Great Britain in 1907.[1] The British Assemblies of God were founded in Birmingham in 1924.[2] In 1946, it had 403 churches.[3] The standard hymnal of Assemblies of God has traditionally been the Redemption Hymnal.
