National headquarters are in Springfield, Missouri, where the administration building, Gospel Publishing House, and International Distribution Center are located. The Assemblies of God is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals. They hold to a conservative Protestant theology, as well as to the core Pentecostal doctrines such as the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and faith healing. Congregations are independent and autonomous from each other and the national headquarters; however, the national headquarters has sole authority to ordain ministers and revoke their credentials. The faith requires adherence to the Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths.
