Apostle Debra Ford is a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In October 1995, Apostle Ford received a call from God to leave her traditional Baptist structure to start a new spirit-filled, non-denominational church. As Senior Pastor and founder of Faith Christian Church, her vision is to raise-up ministers for the mission field and evangelism by spiritually empowering the saints for the work of ministry. Her objectives are to encourage, edify and help believers develop a clear understanding of their purpose in life and help them fulfill their destiny. Her primary goal in ministry is 'kingdom building for Christ.' Apostle Ford enlightens a rapidly growing membership on how to obtain salvation and eternal life through spiritual confession and acceptance of Jesus Christ.

In 1998, Apostle Ford founded Faith Ministerial Fellowship, The School of the Prophets, The Women of Destiny Conferences, Releasing the Glory Five Fold Leadership Conferences and Faith Ministerial Fellowship which provides leadership and pastoral covering for a coalition of Christian churches and ministries. The School of the Prophets is a Christian school of theology where people train for ministry and learn how to develop their spiritual gifts, especially in the areas of five-fold ministry. Apostle Ford is committed to training and helping people who are called/chosen and have a desire to obey God's call and do His will.
