The son of missionary parents to China and Tibet, Dr. Wood holds a doctoral degree in pastoral theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., and a juris doctorate from Western State University College of Law in Fullerton, Calif. He did his undergraduate work at Evangel College in Springfield, MO and served the college in several capacities, including being director of spiritual life and student life from 1965-71. Dr. Wood was ordained with the Southern Missouri District in 1967.
Dr. George O. Wood was elected to the position of General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in August of 2007. Prior
to his current post, he was General Secretary for the Assemblies of God from 1993 - 2007. Before that, he was Assistant Superintendent of the Southern California District from 1988-93. He also pastored Newport-Mesa Christian Center in Costa Mesa, California, for 17 years. During his tenure, the church experienced significant growth, relocated and constructed new facilities, and gave $1 million to world missions in the last biennium of his pastorate.
Dr. Wood is author of seven books which include, A Psalm In My Heart Vol. I & II, Living Fully, The Successful Life, and a college text on the Book of Acts. He also is an attorney and a member of the California State Bar.
The audio messages, print articles, and books that are offered on this site are done with prayer that they will be an encouragement to you, and that you will have the opportunity to know Christ better. These materials have been made possible through the very faithful and dedicated efforts of the audio visual staff of Newport-Mesa Christian Center. When Dr. Wood first became pastor at Newport-Mesa Christian Center, the staff had the vision that the expositional ministry of Dr. Wood should be recorded and made available to the body of Christ. It was the vision of a volunteer, John Huntley, in late 2001, to make these materials available on the internet, and he spent multiplied thousands of hours in digitizing these resources for you.
