About Our Pastor

Pastor Jay Stillinger

Senior Pastor

Pastor Jay received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior when he was 12 years old as a result of a great loss in his life. Later, at 17 he had a life changing experience with the Lord resulting in a clear calling from God to be a minister of God’s Word.

Pastor Jay graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center (now Rhema Bible Training College) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and holds a B.A. in Religion/Ministry, an M.A. in Apologetics from Luther Rice College and Seminary near Atlanta, Georgia, and an M.A. in Theological Studies from Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas. He has worked as an Associate Pastor and was a missionary to the country of Portugal. Additionally, he has done missions work in Kenya, East Africa.

Pastor Jay is ordained with the Rhema Ministerial Association International.

Pam Stillinger:

Pam was raised in a Christian environment though she didn’t have a true understanding of God and His nature until March of 1988. During a time in her life when events occurred that could not be resolved without God’s intervention, she acknowledged her need for His presence and guidance. She recommitted her life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior which profoundly changed her life .

Pam has been in the ministry with her husband since 1989 when they were married, and is anointed greatly in various areas of ministry. She is ordained through Rhema Ministerial Association International (RMAI) and the Executive Pastor of AGCC. Pam is currently the Director of Children’s Ministries. She has a heart for children, teens, and young adults, that they might know the saving power of Jesus Christ at an early age, in order to prepare them for the purpose God has called them to.

The Stillingers are District Directors for RMAI and reside in the Capital Region. They have two young adult children who are also involved in ministry.
