An NBC News investigation has revealed decades of sexual abuse allegations and cover-ups within the Assemblies of God, identifying nearly 200 accused ministers and over 475 victims, primarily children. In response, some pastors are calling for reform and repentance, with one resigning in protest. The denomination’s leadership acknowledged the issues but faced criticism for inadequate oversight of non-credentialed staff. Calls for churchwide repentance emphasize the need for deeper accountability beyond policy changes.
