Every pastor needs a pastor & brotherhood
The Word Covenant Fellowship International (TWCFI) is a bond of fellow pastors and church planters seeking community, accountability, support, training, oversight, and resources as they pursue God’s call to leadership.

the Process
Are you a pastor looking for spiritual oversight? Here is how the process would look through TWCFI.
1. relationship
Everything starts with a relationship. Contact us and schedule a time to meet with Bishop Coleman and see if pursuing a relationship with The Word Covenant Fellowship Intl. is a good fit for you and Bishop Coleman.
2. Assessment
If it makes sense to move forward, an assessment process would begin covering: education/biblical literacy, spirituality, relational health, emotional health, financial stewardship, and ministry readiness.
3. Orientation
All ordained ministers would go through a process of orientation to review everything that’s involved with the Covenant. If you have not been ordained, Bishop Coleman can provide an ordination ceremony/service.
4. engrafting
For pastors that are a good relational fit, have passed an assessment process, and have gone through orientation, official engrafting into TWCFI beings. Pastors immediately receive all benefits of the Covenant.
