What is a local assembly?
Local assembly
A local assembly is the congregation of a Pentecostal church such as the Church of Pentecost, Assemblies of God or ICGC, led day to day by a presiding elder or pastor.
Assemblies are grouped into districts under a district pastor, and districts into areas or regions. In the Church of Pentecost the pastor is often responsible for several assemblies at once, and each assembly is led by its presiding elder with a local presbytery of elders, deacons and deaconesses.
Used by: Pentecostal churches.
