Program to recognize students who excel academically

The Micheal Benton Academic Excellence Program (A.E.P.) is a church-wide service designed to recognize the achievements of members who excel in their school studies from Kindergarten through post-secondary education. We are dedicated to “Denying, Defeating and Destroying Division” in our church, community and schools.

The A.E.P. has the awesome responsibility of assisting ALL students whether it is the A.E.P. Recognition Ceremony which takes place the last Sunday in January and June during youth services; awarding scholarships to high school seniors who will be attending college for the upcoming fall; Reaching Educational Excellence through Tutoring (R.E.E.T.) which is held each Wednesday from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM or test preparation workshops and seminars.
