Australian Christian Churches (ACC), also known as Assemblies of God in Australia (AOG), is a Pentecostal Christian denomination and the Australian branch of the Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal denomination in the world. With over 225,000 adherents it is the largest Pentecostal denomination in Australia.
The ACC was formed in 1937 when the Assemblies of God Queensland merged with the Pentecostal Church of Australia under the name Assemblies of God in Australia. In 2007, the denomination adopted Australian Christian Churches as its public name; however, it is still incorporated as the Assemblies of God in Australia.
