Ministries and Departments
Our History
Founded through prayer, vision, and divine mandate, B.T.F.W. Global Ministry was established with a singular purpose to expand the Kingdom of God beyond walls, borders, and barriers. Bishop Ritz and Dr. Corvena Denton believed God has called them to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of God, where they consume informational content.
In 2020, BTFW hosted its first services in its home studio and was launched as a mission under the COG in 2021. BTFW is unique with a hybrid format, hosting services on its E-Campus and in local gatherings around the world. On October 9, 2022, this group of faithful believers has grown into an international ministry and has become an organized church, hosting gatherings in Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, London and Wales, Florida, South Carolina, and at the BTFW Global Media Center in New Jersey.
The global ministry operates through several key pillars:
1. Worship & Discipleship: Providing biblically sound teaching, spiritual growth, and leadership training to equip believers for effective ministry.
2. Missions & Evangelism: Conducting domestic and international outreach efforts, humanitarian initiatives, and evangelistic campaigns to spread the Gospel message.
3. Family Life & Extended Hands: Offering programs that strengthen marriages, empower women, develop men, mentor youth, and support families holistically.
4. Education & Leadership Development: Establishing training institutes, conferences, and mentorship initiatives to cultivate the next generation of spiritual and marketplace leaders.
5. Digital and Global Connectivity: Recognizing the importance of technological advancement, the ministry embraced digital platforms to broadcast services, host virtual gatherings, and provide global discipleship access. Through the online campus and international partnerships, the ministry now impacts individuals across continents in real time.
