AFCM is an international family of churches and ministers dedicated to cultivating a heart for the world, nurturing relationships, and championing the local church.
We equip ministers to reach their most effective potential in ministry through licensing, ordination, and affiliation. We aim to supply a means of Godly encouragement and counsel in accuracy of doctrine and integrity of character.
Jim Kaseman entered full-time ministry in 1975 when he accepted the invitation to pastor a church in Minnesota. A year later, Jim Kaseman Ministries was founded and became instrumental in establishing 27 churches in Minnesota and the surrounding area.
The Association of Faith Churches and Ministers (AFCM) was founded by Jim and Kathleen Kaseman in 1978 for the purpose of equipping and empowering ministers to fulfill their destiny, while promoting fellowship and unity in the body of Christ.
AFCM is a diverse group of ministers committed to fulfilling the Great Commission to “…go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
The following list of core values reflects what is truly important to us as an organization. These are not values that change from time to time, but rather they are the foundation of this ministry. By maintaining these core values, we can preserve what has always been unique about AFCM.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of the holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.
(2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Thess. 2:13)
The triune Godhead is comprised of 3 separate and distinct persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed, and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
