our pastors:

Bishop Jeffrey Donelson

Sr. Pastor

Pastor Janice Donelson

Co-Pastor

Bishop Donelson and Co-Pastor Donelson have faithfully served as leaders of Everlasting Word Church for more than 26 years. Their unwavering commitment to the mission of "Living a Legacy and Leaving a Legacy" has kept them firmly aligned with the visions and goals that God has entrusted to them for the betterment of the Aurora Community.

The vision of Bishop and Co- Pastor is to empower the Saints of God through the Word of God. They are committed to inspiring and reaching out to those who haven't yet found faith by re-establishing the church's connection to the community through evangelism.

Their goal and ours as a church in whole is to make Everlasting Word Church a prominent presence in our community, while also providing robust ministries that cater to the needs of our community.

Furthermore, we aim to have a broader impact on our community by actively engaging in social, economic, and spiritual matters whenever critical issues arise, such as infrastructure, entrepreneurial opportunities, affordable housing, and social justice concerns.

We firmly believe that it is our responsibility as a church to actively participate in finding solutions to sustain our people and community.

We are dedicated to remaining relevant in our approach to connecting those who are not yet part of the body of Christ, with a transformative mindset. That's why, as a church and leadership team, we've adapted to our community needs by expanding our reach. We've transitioned to a hybrid worship model to extend our influence beyond our community by streaming our worship and teaching services through our social media platforms and Zoom.com. This ensures that we can minister to a diverse audience, including those who may not be drawn to traditional in-person worship.

We've embraced the reality that not everyone is attracted to traditional worship, and we want to ensure that even those individuals can be nourished and connected through our e-church extension, becoming an active part of our church community, no matter where they are in the world.

Be Blessed!
