YOUNG MARRIEDS
TRENT & KARLA MORGAN
I believe, as the men of The Apostolic Promise, we need to be strong spiritual leaders!My vision and goal is for this ministry to create spiritual leaders and warriors. Then for them to develop other spiritual leaders and warriors, as revival blesses us with new souls. I want to see our men to become so strong, as warriors of the faith, that nothing can penetrate the bond that binds us together. I believe that if the men of The Apostolic Promise Church become as strong as they can be and bind together with the other ministries of the church, that we will become a mighty army that is marching forward and will not be defeated!!!! If you are a man of The TAP and are not a part of this powerful ministry, I encourage you to join our ranks and become another link in the chain. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
GUEST FOLLOW UP

Their vision is to reach the whole community in their language and culture so that they can share and spread the gospel with their loved ones in other cities, states, and even countries. Sis. Beth (Belén in Spanish) grew up in Southern California as the daughter of a Spanish Pastor of a small home missions church of the faith. Bro.

YOUNG MARRIEDS

The married couples group tries to meet periodically throughout each year for different events and activities, such as the annual marriage retreat, various game nights, and dinner outings.

BIBLE QUIZZING
LADIES GROUP
SISTER KATHY LEE
Sister Kathy Lee considers it an honor and privilege to help each lady navigate this life, on their journey towards Heaven. Sister Lee's vision is to add new ladies to our group and help each lady to grow to new heights in their relationship with the Lord.
At the beginning of the year a “friendship” basket is passed around. Those participating drawing names, and as each lady receives the basket, she then fills it with trinkets and goodies for the lady whose name she drew. The Ladies Group gets together many times throughout the year, going on shopping trips, to the Muny, and enjoying unique places to eat together. The true highlight of the Ladies Group is the Missouri District Ladies Conference, where the Lord moves tremendously. Lives are changed and enriched through the women who minister each year.
SISTER KATHY LEE
Bible quizzing is a ministry involving our children and youth, designed to plant the Word of God in their hearts. This ministry also serves to develop and encourage good sportsmanship, quick-thinking, and memorization skills among its members. Every month a tournament is held, giving our children the opportunity to fellowship with many like-minded young people on a much wider scale. Many quizzers go on to accomplish great things through and for God, such as becoming Sunday School Teachers, youth Pastors, missionaries, and even Pastors. TAP church usually hosts the Lonnie Brown Memorial Invitational held during the month of May; fifty or more teams from across the state of Missouri and neighboring states attend. Everyone is invited and encouraged to come and experience this amazing event, when our building will be filled with young people quoting hundreds of scriptures throughout the day.
If you ever have an interest or questions about this powerful, effective, and life-changing ministry, feel free to contact us, and we will be glad to assist you in any way possible.
BEAUTIFICATION TEAM
DAVID WHITMORE
The church beautification team consists of highly motivated and industrious members who delight in “working” for the Lord. This teams activities and accomplishments are integral. The dedicated members work throughout the year to keep the building clean. Through the burden and desire of these active members, our church is able to adequately meet the needs of the people coming to our location.
PASTOR
TIM LEE
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.
MUSIC DIRECTOR
KATHY LEE
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!
YOUTH PASTOR
DAVID & BRITTNEY PETERS
Rev. and Mrs. Peters are dedicated to every young soul at TAP Church; they are committed to their success, both in and outside the church environment. Rev. Peters, while in attendance, started a local campus ministry here at SEMO University, wherein they experienced a wonderful harvest of over 80 first-time guests to both church and bible-study sessions, including students from 10 different countries. Of those in attendance, 10 were baptized in Jesus’ name, and 19 received the gift of the Holy Ghost! These personal achievements inspired Brother Peters and his lovely wife to accept the role as Youth Pastor in March of 2017, where their obvious anointing shines and their dedication to the cause of the Kingdom is evident, making us all excited to see what their ministry holds for all in the future!
Brother Peters earned a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity, while Brittney earned her degree in Interior Design, both from Southeast Missouri State University.
CHILDREN'S MINISTERS
JOBI & TIM HAMPTON
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.
ASSOCIATE PASTOR
DAVID WHITMORE
Brother David Whitmore does not consider being Associate Pastor as a title or position, but rather as a ministry to serve where God has called him. Bro. Whitmore was baptized and filled with the holy ghost at the age of nine years old, but it wasn't until the age of forty-two when God called him into the ministry. Brother Whitmore counts his service under Pastor Lee to be an honor and privilege. Brother Whitmore also oversees the organizing and managing of the beautification team and guides the Hands of Hope ministry. His hope is that through his blindness, he can be an inspiration to all.
