Braeswood Assembly of God started as a tent revival meeting in downtown Houston in 1943, led by Reverend A. L. Samford. Due to the high attendance, the congregation built its first church in 1944. In 1948, Pastor N.L. White took over the leadership from Reverend Samford so that he could pursue his calling to the evangelistic field. In 1952, the congregation moved to its second worship center and later built its third worship center in 1960.

Following Pastor White's retirement in 1970, Rev.  Earl J. Banning assumed leadership of Braeswood Assembly and led a season of remarkable growth that saw the church grow from 125 to over 2,500 weekly attendees. This period also saw the dedication of the current worship facility in 1974 and the N.L. White Education Building in 1987, underlining the church's commitment to its community. 

In 1997, Pastor Earl Banning retired, and a succession plan was set in motion with the election of Rev. Stephen E. Banning as our next Senior Pastor, effective October 2000. Under Pastor Stephen E. Banning's leadership, the church has continued to grow and expand its ministry and outreach, staying true to its core values of The Word, Worship, Body Life, and Commission.

On April 7th, 2024, Rev. John O.  Faleye assumed the pastorate, marking the successful conclusion of a yearlong pastoral transition that saw Rev. Steve Banning retire after serving for 24 years. Under new leadership, our church is poised to continue growing and serving our community, reinforcing our commitment to Jesus and championing a resolved movement to spread the gospel to the ends of Houston and beyond.
