About the AWCF

The Apostolic World Christian Fellowship (AWCF) is a divinely ordained gathering of churches, ministers, and saints who contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3). Established by the Spirit, and bound together by the love of Christ and the truth of His Word, AWCF is a beacon of apostolic authority and doctrinal purity in a time of great shaking and spiritual famine (Amos 8:11).

We exist to fulfill the high calling of God in Christ JESUS (Philippians 3:14), advancing the Gospel of the Kingdom with clarity, conviction, and apostolic power. As the Lord prayed, "That they all may be one" (John 17:21), so we labor to see the Body of Christ united, not in compromise, but in the Spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

We preach and teach that JESUS Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9), and that salvation is found in no other name (Acts 4:12) but His. We uphold the pattern of Acts 2:38 which is:
  • repentance,
  • water baptism in the Name of JESUS Christ for the remission of sins, and the
  • infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

Led by the servant-leaders whom God has raised up, headed by General Chairman Bishop Luke Smith with First Lady Anna Almeda-Smith and a council of proven elders and apostles, AWCF operates under divine order. We honor the fivefold ministry (Ephesians 4:11) and believe in equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ.

To all who walk in the light as He is in the light (1 John 1:7), we extend the right hand of fellowship. Whether you seek ministerial license, doctrinal unity, or apostolic covering, AWCF provides a spiritual home rooted in truth and accountability.

A Call to True Apostolic Unity

In this heartfelt address, Bishop Luke Smith shares the divine vision that birthed AWCF in 1971: a fellowship not built on division, but on unity in the Apostolic faith. Be encouraged as he calls every believer, from every background, to come aboard the apostolic ship, to be united in purpose, empowered by truth, and advancing the Kingdom of God together.

Our foundation is the Word, our power is the Spirit, and our vision is the harvest.
