Evangel World Prayer Center

What Evangel World Prayer Center does

Evangel World Prayer Center (EWPC) is a private, non-profit Christian church organization headquartered at 6900 Billtown Road, Louisville, Kentucky, operating under the philosophy of 'one church with many locations.' It runs 12 physical campuses across the Louisville KY metro area plus Charlestown, Indiana, and one online campus streamed via ewpc.online.church. The organization is led by Bob Rodgers (Senior Pastor) and Margaret Rodgers at the Billtown main campus, with husband-and-wife pastoral couples heading each of the other locations (e.g., Rex and Rachel Rodgers at Charlestown; Rex and Charlotte Chesser at Shepherdsville; Troy and Joyce Conley at Newburg; Jonathan and Teresa Olea at Hispanic Ministry; Yzel and Eden Singayao at Evangel Asian Church; Christian and Maria Grice at Billtown-Español; Sylvain and Noella Nyemba Mulinda at Evangel Goshen; Keith and Angee Dorsey at Dixie Highway; Denny and Reva Kasey at Crestwood; Sherry Holt at Evangel Online; Ivan Tait delivering sermons at the main campus).

Its ministry portfolio spans generational programs — Evangel Kids Church (ages 5-12), Catalyst Culture Youth, young adults, young couples, singles, women, men, and seniors (including the Speeder's Luncheon) — alongside specialized ministries such as Healing Rooms (weekly Wednesday prayer for physical/emotional healing), the World Prayer Service (global intercession), Daughters of Light (women's prayer), Living Free (addiction recovery led by Darin Ashley), and a Men's Small Group Study. Multiple services are offered in English and Spanish, with targeted ethnic congregations for Asian, Hispanic, and Francophone (Goshen) communities. Content is distributed via in-person worship, online streaming, and a YouTube media library featuring conference highlights (CGIF The Sound Conference, GO Girl Conference, Prophetic Conference, Movement Conference, Authentic Five Star Man Conference).

EWPC generates revenue exclusively through voluntary tithes, offerings, and donations from congregants, accepted both in-person and through an online giving platform (app.securegive.com). All worship services and ministry programs are free to attend. Distribution and outreach rely on the ewpc.com website, SMS keyword campaigns (text 'events' to 844.813.4623), and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube). Strategic partners include Oral Roberts University (education access), Bob Rodgers Ministries, Christian Global Impact Foundation (CGIF), Evangel Christian School, Holy Land Broadcasting, Crosswater Gardens, and Evangel Prison Ministries. Revenue, headcount trend, and founding date are not publicly disclosed; the organization employs between 11 and 50 staff and shows no signs of ownership, funding, or acquisition activity.
