Our Frequently Asked Questions
The Assemblies of God South Pacific District Council (SPD) is a nonprofit religious organization located in La Puente, California, representing more than 340 local Hispanic churches in Southern California.

Yes, the Southern Pacific District (SPD) is a bilingual district. While we are historically a Spanish-speaking district, we fully recognize that many of our churches have English-speaking members, ministries, leaders, youth, and children. To meet the needs of this emerging generation, we have created new roles that focus on supporting and nurturing the English-speaking community within our district. Additionally, we have regions specifically assigned to serve, minister, and represent these communities, ensuring that all voices are heard and all members are empowered to thrive in their ministry. SPD is committed to embracing both languages and cultures as we continue to grow together in unity and purpose.
Yes we do. The Assemblies of God has been blessed and must continue to be blessed by the ministry of God’s gifted and commissioned daughters. The Bible repeatedly affirms that God pours out His Spirit upon both men and women and thereby gifts both sexes for ministry in His Church. Therefore, we must continue to affirm the gifts of women in ministry and spiritual leadership.
Accordingly, therefore, there is that in the Father which constitutes him the Father and not the Son; there is that in the Son which constitutes Him the Son and not the Father; and there is that in the Holy Spirit which constitutes Him the Holy Spirit and not either the Father or the Son. Wherefore the Father is the Begetter, the Son is the Begotten, and the Holy Spirit is the one proceeding from the Father and the Son. Therefore, because these three persons in the Godhead are in a state of unity, there is but one Lord God Almighty and His name one. • John 1:18 • John 15:26 • John 17:11 • John 17:21 • Zechariah 14:9
