Covenant and Benefits
1) Fellowship among Pastors - Shepherd's Prayer
As pastors, our work in this earth realm has truly been set apart and made unique in fulfilling God's plan for mankind. Weekly pastors and their spouses come together to pray and receive direction and leadership from Bishop Wilkerson.
2) Church Development
We provide access to Bishop Wilkerson's ministry administrative headship. We provide seminars on leadership and church growth skills. We promote interdependence, yet maintain distinct independent identity. Questions regarding administrative procedures, as well as in other areas can be answered by a seasoned staff member of the local ministries, when needed, Ministries can also obtain valuable information and direction from the home office of Agape Christian Ministries.
3) Family Fellowship (quarterly)
Through our fellowship we develop deeper acquaintances that build lasting friendships, share knowledge and gifts that encourage, strengthen and support one another, and experience a camaraderie that truly makes us family.
4) National Youth Department
AFC provides assistance and information for establishing effective children and youth ministries. Our "Breakout Events" which are sponsored by the Agape Family of Churches includes concerts and other events for children and youth within the family to come together. We also provide a forum for the children of pastors for counseling and seminars.
5) Ordinations
Ordinations by Bishop L.A. Wilkerson are available to all AFC members who have been members for one year or more and meet the Agape Family of Churches qualifications for ordination.
6) Directory
A directory of all Agape Family of Churches members for church referral. Our Directory provides members with an avenue for keeping in touch with one another. It also provides a list of churches in other states and countries from which we refer members who are relocating or visiting a particular area. The prospective visitor or member can attend a service and then decide if that is the ministry whereby he or she can be ministered to, learn, and grow in the things of God.
The listing of these churches does not constitute any expressed or implied endorsement from Agape Christian Ministries or Bishop L.A. Wilkerson. This also includes any other ministries or organizations associated with Agape Christian Ministries. Neither Agape Christian Ministries nor Bishop L.A. Wilkerson exercises any control or decision making authority over the individual churches other than Austin, Round Rock and Houston. Therefore, exercise your own judgment, led by the Holy Spirit, when deciding to attend any of these churches other than Agape Christian Ministries.
