The Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center (FPHC) has become the largest Pentecostal archives in the world – a world class repository of materials documenting the Assemblies of God and the broader Pentecostal movement. Church leaders, scholars, students, and other researchers around the world depend on the FPHC’s resources and services.

This has been possible because of the behind-the-scenes work by FPHC staff of collecting, preserving, and making accessible these treasures of the faith. In 2020, FPHC staff created 8,349 new catalog records. Each record represents an item or a collection that has been processed and that is now in the FPHC online database, which allows end-users to search, do research, and place orders for materials.
The Assemblies of God is diverse (44% of AG USA adherents are non-Anglo) and global (95% of AG adherents live outside the US). This is reflective of the incredible growth and diversity of the broader Pentecostal movement. Importantly, the FPHC seeks to document this diverse and global constituency, so that we can better understand how God has been working through the Assemblies of God and the broader Pentecostal movement.
The growth of the FPHC’s collection has been remarkable. The number of catalog records has grown by 237% in the last 13 years from 58,760 to 139,466. The number of non-English catalog records has grown by an amazing 1387% from 673 to 9,334. The FPHC has cataloged materials in 153 languages.
The following tables illustrate the growth and breadth of the FPHC’s collection: 1) the number of catalog records cataloged each year; 2) the number of catalog records by language (listed by number of records); and 3) the number of catalog records by language (listed alphabetically).
