About & Leadership

Sixteen years of ministry, led by two pastors and carried by a family of servants.

Our Heart

The Church That Looks
With the Spiritual Eye

The Church Within International Ministries exists to help every person discover the Kingdom already at work inside them. We are the church where everyone is someone, and the Holy Spirit is in control — a family committed to prayer, the Word, and living what we preach.

Apostle Glen Kirkwood

Apostle & Pastor

Apostle Glen Kirkwood has shepherded The Church Within International Ministries for sixteen years, teaching the Word with conviction and leading the church to look beyond the outward appearance and into the heart.

Alongside Pastor Elma, he leads a ministry built on discipleship, prayer and family.

Pastor Elma Kirkwood

Pastor & Biblical Counselor

Pastor Elma Kirkwood pours into the TCWIM family through teaching, biblical counseling, and her own “Talk of Life” talk show. Her heart is for every member to remain steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

“The best is yet to come — God has greater blessings, greater growth, and greater opportunities ahead for our church.”
