INTERNATIONAL
FAITH COVENANT FELLOWSHIP
OUR PURPOSE AND BELIEF
To provide a fellowship of worship and teaching on Kingdom principles. A place where believers and most especially new believers can be taught the principles of Kingdom living and evangelism. Matt. 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come". By this we want to help believers to walk in their God given purpose and destiny, through Godly principles and righteous living, while focusing on the mission of evangelizing the world with the gospel of the kingdom. We endeavor to empower, encourage, exhort, equip, advance, and, continually, edify the Body of Christ in thanksgiving and praises, while tearing down strongholds that divide God’s people racially, denominationally, socially, and economically, while lifting high the banner of the true and living God.
We believe in honoring, glorifying, and revering the sovereignty of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the Almighty God, creator of heaven and earth. We believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born by Virgin Mary, who was crucified, buried, resurrected on the third day, and ascended into Heaven where He is seated on the right hand of His Father. We believe that God heals, delivers, sets free, performs miracles, signs, and wonders in the earth. We believe in the Holy communion, forgiveness of sin, life eternal and the resurrection of the spiritual body. We believe that the inspired Word of God, The Holy Bible, is our instruction and guide to living a life in Christ. Amen.

Jamal Broadnax and Presiding Prelate Bishop Inetta J. Cooper, NPower Fellowship and witnessed by Vice-Prelate Bishop Paullette Zimmerman. Bishop Tamara Thomas serves as the Presiding Prelate and Diocesan Bishop of International Faith Covenant Fellowship Kingdom Ministry Alliance.
Bishop Dr. Fred W. Thomas, Jr. has been serving as a messenger of God for over thirty years. He began preaching in 1983 under the covering of Pastor Michael Graves of Temple Baptist Church in Nashville, TN. He received a ministerial license in 1987 under the Pentecostal Assembly of the World and was ordained in 2004 from World Christianship Ministries. In 2007, he accepted the call of the prophet.
Called as a prophet of God, his life is dedicated to prayer, preaching, evangelizing, teaching, and showing the world how to love God and worship Him in Spirit and Truth. He and his wife served on the Pastoral Staff, under the covering of Apostle Billy and Pastor Thelma Grate at Body Of Christ Family Church in Red Oak, Texas until September 2005, where they were prepared for the apostolic mantle and anointing that God placed on their lives. In September 2005, Faith Covenant Fellowship Center was conceived and in September 2006 they relocated to Plano, Texas where they had the inaugural service.
Prophet Thomas attended Cedar Valley Community College, and received an Honorary Doctorate of Ministry from NPower Theological Seminary. Fred owned and operated Genesis Cleaning Service where he subcontracted cleaning services. He is now the owner and operator of Chiro Life Massage.
Prophet Fred is a student of the Word, a worshipper and a "Prayer Warrior". He has been known by many as the "Man of Faith," because he believes God for everything, even when others say it makes no sense. He goes against the "norm" by being a man who intensely loves the Lord and is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. You will find Jesus at the center of all his conversation.
Filled with the Holy Spirit, entrusted with God's anointing, he is a man of Passion, carrying a big Vision, on a great Mission!

Dr. Thomas and her husband, Prophet Fred W. Thomas, Jr., founded Faith Covenant Fellowship Center in September of 2005, which is a five-fold, apostolic ministry with a Kingdom focus. In 2016, the name was expanded to International Faith Covenant Fellowship. They endeavor to expand God’s Kingdom through apostolic strategies of teaching, equipping, and releasing the children of God into Kingdom purpose and dominion.
