about our pastor
Dr. Joseph Rodriguez Sr.
In his 30's, Dr. Joseph Rodriguez Sr. made his profession of faith and accepted Christ in 1979. In 1981 he felt the call on his life and moved his wife and 3 children to Tulsa, Ok where he attended Rhema Bible Training Center. Dr. Rodriguez graduated from Rhema in 1983. Upon graduating, he moved his family back to Saginaw, MI and founded Agape Faith Fellowship in 1984. Church services started in his basement with 14 families. Soon they were worshipping at the YMCA and within 4 years they were able to purchase a building and land in Birch Run, MI.
In 1991, Dr. Rodriguez lost his 1st wife, Olivia T. Rodriguez, to a long battle with cancer. This birthed his desire to study the scriptures on healing, and to minister on healing whenever possible so that no one else would ever have to lose a spouse to sickness. He later remarried Eva L Rodriguez in 1998. Dr. Rodriguez received 2 Doctoral Degrees from Maranatha College. Our Pastor is known for his unquenchable thirst for the Word of God, and for his unmatched ability to teach on Faith.
