What Is The ARC?
🏛️ The ARC is the Apostolic Council entrusted with the stewardship, governance, and accountability of the mandate God has given to Apostle Dr. Shelby Frederick.
Rooted in Accountability, Responsibility, and Covenant, The ARC serves as a governing body committed to wisdom, integrity, and Kingdom advancement.
Council members are not spectators. They are leaders who carry responsibility to prayer, discernment, oversight, and the apostolic assignment of this house.
Governing Board Structure
🏛️ The ARC consists of twelve governing seats.
Membership is by invitation and discernment.
Council members gather monthly – virtually and in person – to discern the climate of the Kingdom, discuss matters affecting the Body of Christ, and support the growth and mandate of each five-fold leader serving on the council.
Geography is not the qualifier.
God sends who He sends.
Membership in the broader ARC family is open to all who align with its mandate. Governing board seats are distinct from general membership and carry leadership responsibility within the house.

Every submission is prayerfully considered before the Lord, and responses are given in His timing.

“But I will establish my covenant with you. The ark was not built by accident. It was built by assignment, under covenant, to carry what God determined would survive and manifest on the other side.”
