WARNING!

Assessment

West End Assembly of God is a Pentecostal/charismatic church in Richmond's west end. The AG is trinitarian, affirms inerrancy, and holds to salvation by grace through faith — distinguishing it from Oneness Pentecostals. However, AG theology teaches speaking in tongues as the 'initial physical evidence' of Spirit baptism, which is a secondary doctrinal concern for cessationists. The church is active in community outreach. For those comfortable with Pentecostal worship and theology, this is a solid congregation; for strict cessationists, the charismatic emphasis is a yellow flag.
