Meet Our Pastors

How it all started...

Bethel Covenant Assembly of God (BCAG) was founded by Reverend John and Chidinma Aniemeke under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit.  

On December 22nd, 2011, they received a divine revelation from the Almighty God to start a new ministry; an Assembly of God church in San Antonio, Texas. After much prayer and counsel with various men of God in the leadership of AG USA and Nigeria, a prayer group was started immediately. On March 21st, 2012, BCAG was formally registered as a non-profit incorporation entity with the State of Texas as a religious (church) organization. Earnest prayers were offered for a full year in view of the work ahead and by divine direction, the Lord announced that the church would formally commence in 2013.

Expanding the vision...

BCAG was officially inaugurated on January 5th, 2013 by Rev. Scott Ennis, the General Council AG missionary to Nigeria and Gambia. The church was officially set in order as an affiliate church in the AG South Texas District Council by the District Superintendent, Rev Tim Barker on March 24th, 2013. On April 22nd, 2013, BCAG San Antonio was officially recognized as an affiliate church of the General Council of the Assemblies of God, USA.

The church prayer group started with 8 foundation members. The first Sunday church service was held at the Drury Inn & Suites near La Cantera Parkway, and moved to the Bandera Road Campus on 6812 Bandera Rd Ste. 126 San Antonio, TX 78238 on Sunday April 7th, 2013. Here, BCAG grew from one to four Sunday Services. On Sunday December 25th, 2022, BCAG held its first Sunday service at its current permanent location on Highway Loop 1604.

Where we are headed...

Today, to the Glory of the Almighty God, BCAG has grown to a body of over 1,300 members who worship God in spirit and in truth weekly. The church currently has over 35 ministries and a thriving Campus Ministry at the University of Texas San Antonio. BCAG is blessed with a rich diversity of members from all races and over 50 nations seeking God’s presence in all facets of life. The Church has a clear mandate to bring and maintain an unquenchable Holy Spirit revival to the city of San Antonio.
