It is one of three Canadian branches of the Assemblies of God, the world's largest Pentecostal denomination. The group shares identical beliefs and close cooperation with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. It is also associated with the Assemblies of God in Italy and the Christian Church of North America.[1]
