FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER’S DESK
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ! I rejoice because I believe this is the greatest hour of the Church and I am excited to see how the Apostolic Assembly is advancing forward, as we “Build the Church”. Much of what happens within the leadership of our great organization would not be possible without the incredible staff that are so blessed to have working at our International Headquarters, in Fontana, California. These brothers and sisters work very hard, every day, to serve the Church with excellence and professionalism. I am delighted and honored to lead this tremendous group of professionals and I want to share with you several exciting updates!
The Mission Statement of our Corporate Office is, “to support the vision and leadership of the Apostolic Assembly of the Faith in Christ Jesus by working together to serve Christ and His Church with a spirit of excellence.”
Every day we strive for this excellence and spirit of service! We petition your prayers for our staff members and the General Board of Directors, as we continue to work together to serve our pastors, pastors’ wives, and local churches to the best of our ability! Please do not hesitate to contact any member of our staff, during business hours, by calling (909) 987-3013 or emailing [email protected].
