Pastor Timothy Lee, along with his beautiful wife, Sister Kathy Lee, both possess a strong passion to personally minister to each person who visits our congregation. Their respective passions were fueled by their travels during their evangelistic eight-year tour, wherein they visited thirty-three states, and twelve separate countries. They experienced a menagerie of cultures, races, and ethnic groups throughout their tour and witnessed over eight thousand people receive the gift of the Holy Ghost during the revivals they attended, which in turn only helped their collaborated ministry ideals to expand. Similarly, they were afforded the opportunity to preach in some of America’s largest Pentecostal churches, inspiring their vision of a thriving Pentecostal church right here in the fair city of Cape Girardeau, which resulted in The Apostolic Promise (TAP) church of today and of the future.

Pastor Lee obtained a degree in Theology from Liberty University, while Sister Lee acquired her degree in Communication Disorders from Southeast Missouri State University. Pastor and Sister Lee have been blessed with two wonderful children, both of whom are highly involved in different areas within our congregation including Sunday School and Youth ministries. Pastor Lee’s favorite use of his “free time” is to spend quality time with his beloved wife and dear children.

Worship and praise are used biblically to set the stage and to usher in the ever-craved presence of the Holy Ghost before the preaching begins and during the alter call. The adult choir and music department of TAP is headed up by Sister Lee and includes 20+ Praise and Worship singers plus 6 musicians. The music department is also responsible for the developing and performing of dramas, skits, mini-dramas, and cantatas throughout each year, including a special performance given by one member every Sunday night. Also, under the music ministry are our children’s junior choir, and junior and senior sign-language choirs. Sister Lee’s hope for the coming years is to witness the Holy Ghost being poured out at phenomenal levels and allow the supernatural to occur at TAP. To God be the Glory!

The souls of all our children and their spiritual guidance and growth are of the utmost priority at TAP church, which is made evident by the enumerable opportunities afforded our children. We possess a qualified and passionate staff of over 30 teachers, aides, and coaches that diligently work with our adolescent souls in order to encourage excellence in all aspects of their young lives! The Christian Education Team provides multiple opportunities to be involved in the highly successful Bible Quiz Program, where our five age-appropriate teams are continuously ranked within the top teams in the state of Missouri. We also offer the chance to join our sign language teams, and many extracurricular activities throughout the year; including camp meetings, Father-Son camping trips, Block Parties, Junior Choir, Field Trips, Picnics, Game Nights, etc.

Jobi’s mother was brought to church as a child through a bus ministry. Her mother's experience has fueled a fire for the Hamptons to reach as many children in Cape Girardeau county as possible. We currently have 7 vans and shuttles bringing “Promise Kids” to church on Sunday mornings and “Wacky Wednesday” services.

Promotions help unify the church and keep the congression and our City up-to-date on our schedule. We glorify God in everything we do, and want to promote that through Social Media, Church graphics, flyers, video and so  much more. Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people parish”, we want to help to further Pastor and Sister Lees' vision for the future of our congregation and our community.

TAPs Outreach Ministry is a multi-faceted community-based evangelism. Tap’s Outreach is a thriving because it is interwoven into all of the other ministries. The Outreach Ministry and its members are involved in teaching many Home Bible Studies, as well as sponsoring several Block Party events throughout the calendar year. Also included in this Ministry are the door-to-door outreach teams (that knock on every possible door city-wide, multiple times a year), the bus and van ministry (transportation for anyone who needs it) and a team of volunteers who teach in Nursing Homes in our community.

If you would like the opportunity to be involved in Outreach, contact Brad McWhorter, as volunteers are always needed and welcome.

The vision of the prayer team is to equip, enable and encourage the saint of God to pursue a deeper prayer life. We strive to create an army of intercessory prayer warriors, ready to go to battle. Together we will stop the divisions in our families, our church and our community.

If you want to be involved, please contact Sister Lynn.

I The goal of the Men’s Group is to create a strong spiritual atmosphere that will aid in the shaping and supporting of spiritual leaders and warriors. Brother Hughes sees the tide of revival approaching and strives to create bonds so powerful within our congregation, that nothing the outside world can throw against us will even make a dint. “We must become the mighty army God has called us to be, always marching forward, and never being defeated! If you are a man of TAP, and are not yet part of this powerful ministry, you are encouraged to join the ranks, and become another indispensable link in the chain!” – James Hughes.
