ABOUT US
The Assemblies of God, Jamaica
The Assemblies of God in Jamaica was born out of a prayer meeting held by Mrs. Thomas Glover in 1936. The prayer meeting grew rapidly with many converts, which led to the establishment of a church in 1938 at Upper Kings Street, Montego Bay. By this time, the Rev. Cyril Darell-Huckerby, who was rejected by his organization because of his Pentecostal experience, organize a ministry out of Spanish Town know as the “Heart of Jamaica Crusade,” which resulted in the birth of several churches.
