The General Conference of the Canadian Assemblies of God, with Headquarters in Montreal, Quebec is a co-operative fellowship of Pentecostal churches.

Our history dates back to 1912, where Italian evangelicals living in Hamilton, Ontario became personally acquainted with the pentecostal testimony and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Filled with new zeal and full of the Holy Spirit they sought out other Italians. The gospel spread to Toronto and then Montreal. In a short span of time hundreds of Italian immigrants were saved and baptized in the Spirit.

The first official gathering (General Conference) of these churches took place in 1944. They adopted the name Italian Pentecostal church of Canada.

The primary purpose that lead to the organization of these churches, under the leading of the Holy Spirit, was threefold:  promote co-operation in World Missions & Evangelism, unity of doctrine and the recognition of God called & God given ministries.

The Lord has enabled this church to expand across the country to British Columbia. The pastors in each church readily saw the need to reach out to all Canadians.

In 2005, the fellowship adopted a new name to reflect the reality that was taking place in our churches.  Accordingly we are now known as the Canadian Assemblies of God and are an integral part of the worldwide Assemblies of God family.

Our great desire is to assist and equip local churches as well as individual believers fulfill the Great Commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ. "Not by Might Not by Power, but by My Spirit says the Lord". (Zech. 4:6).
