THE UNIVERSAL FELLOWSHIP ALLIANCE 

 

The Universal Fellowship Alliance is made up of a body or grouping of sons and daughters that have been birthed out of or submitted their Lives to Bishop Grant as Father and Covering. Submitting as Sr. Pastors and churches and the giftings of The 5 Fold ministering gifts. It has been designed to bring proper Apostolic Covenant Covering to the body of Christ while understanding that the Apostolic is not a denomination but a commission.  

 

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Psalms 91: 1- 4  

 

It is the vision of the Bishop to see Kingdom principles by Apostolic and Prophetic guidance and directives that foster a family-oriented alliance between sons and daughters. Creating an environment that allows wholesome dialogue and kingdom advancement through various initiatives.  There are no financial requirements to become a part of the fellowship but it is expected of each son and daughter to sow financially into the life of your Covering in Ministry, keeping with biblical principles of Sowing on a regular basis. (Inclusive of TV & Radio Ministry, Books, and CD & DVD Sales)
