About Us

Pastor Keith was born and raised in the Columbus Ohio area. He was ordained into the ministry in 1979 and traveled for many years with his family throughout the United States evangelizing and singing. In 1987 he settled in the Sunbury, PA area and was an associate minister at New Covenant Church, Sunbury, PA. In 1989 he and Sister Donna were married and worked together at NCC  (including several months on the evangelistic field) until 1998. Pastor Keith and his wife then moved to Columbus, OH. The Shepherd’s Fold Apostolic Church was started in the home of his parents in the spring of 1999 and then moved into his home later that year.

Our Purpose

The Shepherd's Fold Apostolic Church is here to show others the way to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. We are also here to help equip the saints for "the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:12,13)

It is our desire to see every Christian reach his or her full potential in God. We believe that time is short and the Lord will soon return and His Church needs to be ready by being the holy and pure vessel that He has intended it to be.

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living things. God is Spirit (John 4:24). He is the Eternal One, the Creator of all things, and the Father of all humanity by creation. He is the First and the Last, and beside Him there is no God (Isaiah 43:10).

We believe that the one true God, Jehovah, visibly expressed Himself in the man Christ Jesus, born of a Virgin and is the Son of God (Matthew 1:23; 1 Timothy 3:16). We believe that in Jesus dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9)

We believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that when He ascended He sent back the Holy Spirit to indwell all believers. (Matt. 28:5-10; Mark 16:6-14; Acts 1:3-8; 2:1-4)

We believe the Bible as the standard of full salvation which is repentance, that is to turn from your old life of sin, water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 1:4-5; 2:1-4,38,39; 8:16; 10:45-48; 19:1-6)

We believe that every child of God should pattern his or her life after our Lord Jesus Christ. “Be ye holy, as I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15, 16)

We believe in the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who when He appears shall raise the dead in Christ and catch away those rigteous ones that are alive and remain to be with Him in the air (1Thessalonians 4:13-17; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54; Philippians 3:21). We believe in the literal coming of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 3:19-21, 1 Corinthians 11:26)

We believe in eternal damnation to all those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life (Rev. 20:7-15; 21:8; Matthew 25:41)
