~ Benevolence Ministry ~

Our Benevolence Ministry reaches out to assist those who encounter unforeseen disruption in their financial flow. There are prerequisites that must be met to qualify for this assistance given the fact AWT must give account of how we steward God’s money. An application must be requested, filled out correctly, submitted to the finance department and upon review, the application will be approved or disapproved with a full explanation. It is our utmost concern and desire that no member of AWT goes without food or any other "essentials" in life. Other functions of our Benevolence Ministry is hosting clothing giveaways for single parents and those who have suffered financial challenges due to job layoff, supplying kids with school supplies as they return back to school ensuring that no child goes lacking.





~ Dance Ministry ~

Our Dance Ministry enhances the worship experience through their dance interpretation, using liturgical, and expressive dance moves, creating an atmosphere of praise and worship.





~ In-Reach Ministry ~

Our in-reach ministry caters to those who have newly joined our church. With all of the outreach that is taking place here, there’s a real need to ensure that in-reach is not neglected. This particular ministry ensures that the new members have a "point of contact" throughout the week and therefore is able to "stay connected" to the church when the doors are not open. This ministry reaches out to our precious newcomers through fellowship on many different levels, (i.e. phone calls, home visits, sports, movies, dinner, shopping, and etc.)





~ Men’s Ministry ~

Our Men’s Ministry has changed many lives in the short period of its existence. This ministry has drawn men from all races and different walks of life who longed for a "man" to speak into the "man" in them. This ministry is headed by our very own pastor, Pastor Terrance Cheatham. With a passion for men to "realign" themselves back into their rightful place of "headship", Pastor Cheatham ministers to the core of men’s souls unapologetically from a biblical standpoint that surgically removes the blinders from men’s eyes that have caused them to be unable to see "Who’s" image they were created in. At the end of every class, Q&A is held to address any further concerns these precious brothers may have or just want to get off their chest. Our Men’s Ministry is held every 4th Sunday which is officially called our Family Enrichment Sunday.





~ New Conversion Ministry ~

This is an exciting and educating ministry that teaches the basic fundamental doctrines of Christianity to those who have recently experienced salvation. These classes give the new convert a solid biblical foundation to build their faith, walk and relationship with God on. It is an intimate atmosphere that allows for questions and comments that the attendees may have. In these classes the new converts are introduced to the different auxiliaries, ministries and helps that are available to them at AWT. Our New Conversion Ministry is headed by the Deacons and held on the 1st Monday of every month at 6:30pm.





~ Nursing Home Outreach ~

Our Nursing Home Outreach reaches out to those whom society has forgotten. Our ministry to the Nursing Home is particularly special to us because God has given us the opportunity to give back to individuals who have given so much to our community. This outreach ministers to the needs of their "whole man". We not only preach and teach the Word of God to them but we also take care of their natural needs. As a result of supplying ALL their needs and bringing a balance to their lives, we’ve seen God fill an 80 year old woman with the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in other tongues! We’ve seen several respond to the teaching on baptism and their need to be water baptized! Wow, what an exciting and fulfilling ministry! Our ministry to the nursing home takes place every 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:45 pm headed by Sister Lekeishia Anglin.





~ Parking Ministry ~

Our Parking Ministry is identified by their red T-shirts. They have the responsibility of making sure our visitors and parishioners get in and get out safe in a timely manner. The Parking Ministry also assists single-parents with getting their children and bags settled into church so they can be less distracted and better prepared for service. Last but not least, the parking team ensures that any visitor or parishioner coming to AWT with a physical disability is assigned a parking space closest to our facility.

~ Women’s Ministry ~

Our Women’s Ministry is a ministry headed by our very own 1st Lady Erica Cheatham. Through her own personal setbacks in life, she has carefully packaged each experience in a container of wisdom which she shares and imparts to other women and the sisters at AWT. Through her many trials and triumphs she is able to reach the lowest sinner and highest saint. What makes this women’s ministry so unique is the teacher can be touched. There’s no pretentious style of teaching that leaves the student feeling as if they can never arrive; it’s just simple biblical teaching coupled with life’s experience that encourage the student to know: " I’ve been where you are, lived, through it, and you can too ". Through these classes, our 1st Lady lifts sister’s minds to the place they desire to stand beside their husbands and fulfill their assignment to their marriage. Our Women’s Ministry is held on the 4th Sunday of every month (parallel) to our Men’s Ministry.
