Who We Are:

God’s Way Assembly Faith Cathedral (GWAFC) is a non-denominational ministry where Each One…Reach One…Bring One. We conduct gospel services under the directive and anointing of the blessed holy Trinity and preach the unadulterated gospel in season and out of season. It is the place where honor far exceeds disdain and trepidation, as members are encouraged to walk worthy of the vocation to which they are called.

Administration & Leadership:

GWAFC operates under the headship of Rev. Karl A. Jackson, Sr., Pastor and Founder, and his wife First Lady Rita Jackson.

Where We’ve Been:

In The Beginning:

The brainchild of Rev. Jackson, GWAFC was mentioned first to his then fiancée in December 2004, about what the Lord had placed in his heart. With this between them both and his quest to fulfill the call of God on his life, the first service, a special 2-hour service, was held on Good Friday 2005 in the living room of their home with its first two (2) members. Rev. Jackson did praise and worship; First Lady Rita collected and prayed for the offering; Rev. Jackson ministered in song, “The Old Rugged Cross”, and brought the sermon for the day with text from St. John 19:30 and topic “It Is Finished”. As God would have it this was also the beginning of great things to come.

Incorporation:

With no time to waste and with progress on their minds the body was incorporated on May 15, 2005.

The first public service was conducted July 3, 2005 at the Best Western Hotel, which was used as a meeting place for a few months with 6-15 congregants for Bible Studies on Tuesdays.

New Place of Worship:

Thanks be to God! December 31, 2005 a new space was obtained at 2170 Opa-Locka Blvd where Sunday services immediately began. With membership increasing several ministries were set up as the people had a mind to work.

What We’ve Done:
