From: Bishop Robert F Durgan D. Min
To: Our New Leaders & Friends
Greetings to you in the Name of Jesus Christ.
I hope and trust that this letter finds you in the blessings of the Lord, and that your
family is living the abundant life that Christ has provided for us. It is an honor for me to meet
and serve you to the best of my ability and that God be glorified. In the pages ahead I hope
and trust that you will find interesting ministry that will help you in your walk with Christ
and the development of your ministry.
I believe that this meeting is not by chance but a God, connection that will help to ad-
vance what both of us need to do in the kingdom of God and advance the ministry he has
called us to do. When we are in a leadership conference for the All About Christ Network In-
ternational I told the saints there that their are three reasons why God has put us together on
this journey.
The First one is that he has put us together to help you be set free form the personal pain
form the past. Two to help you build a lasting legacy for you and your children. And three to
help build the All About Christ International, and its family of networks design to make any-
one in the Body of Christ who is sincere about kingdom building and love toward one an-
other, comfortable and will respect there background, image and integrity of there ministry.
Many have been in organizations were politics, the good old boy club, clicks, and peo-
ple who just don't care about the local pastor who have been hurt and missed used. Only to
line the pockets of the leaders that they can’t even get a visit or phone call from. They have
taken your money but when you needed help they said oh well. Well that is not God, and he
is not pleased with it.
We do our best to prevent these issues in the All About Christ In-
ternational family. And we would love for you to join us because in this
ministry we will always have room for you and a place for you to serve.

All About Christ International
Bishop Robert Durgan is the Presiding Bishop and Founder of the All About Christ International, All About
Christ Network of Churches & Ministries and Senior Pastor of All About Christ World Outreach Church.
Bishop Durgan came into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in September of 1981 in 1987 Bishop Durgan
began his pastoral ministry as a assistant pastor, then pastor while serving in the military in Baulmhoder, Ger-
many the name of the church was Center of Faith COGIC. In November of 1995 Bishop Durgan was conse-
crated to the Bishopric under the Leadership of Bishop J.L. Payne Presiding Bishop of Christ International
Churches he was also appointed to the executive board and to the Office of the Secretary General. In Novem-
ber 1999 Bishop Durgan started a fellowship call Family Worship Centers International and in 2005 started
another fellowship called All About Christ Fellowship.
All About Christ Fellowship in 2005 started in January of that year it was the beginning of a new and strong
fellowship but at the same time heart break too because Bishop Durgan son Robert Durgan Jr. went home to be
with the lord. Going thru this time was very difficult but Bishop Durgan kept the faith and the ministry went
on. In 2011 the purpose and vision was changed and the name was changed to All About Christ Network of
Church & Ministries International. From July of 2011 to November 2011 the network had grown to over 70
Bishops across the United States the first official leadership conference was in March of 2012 in Atlanta GA.
From that time on the fellowship has gone through ups and downs what Bishop Durgan calls birth pains and
periods of dramatic growth and slow periods. In 2013 the network had a outstanding leadership conference in
Orlando Fl. And in that same year had its first international Inaugural Holy Convocation in August 2013.
The vision and growth and revisions made to help serve the Body of Christ, which brought new direction with
the establishment of the All About Christ International and has grown into other organizations founded by
Bishop Durgan such as All About Christ International, All About Christ Apostolic Network, All About Christ
Full Gospel Baptist Network, Church of God In Christ Network International and the All Abut Christ Net-
working Fellowship International, all of these in the body of Christ that once a year come together to worship
God in the beauty of Holiness.

BELOW ARE 7 RULES OF LEADERSHIP & AC-COUNTABILITY SO THAT WE ALL MAY SAY AND SPEAK THE SAME THINGS TO PROMOTE UNITY AND COHESIVENESS IN THE NETWORK: 1. As a member of this network, I will,
at all times, keep high moral stan-dards and will always strive to have peace with all men.
2. To the best of my ability, I will obey and submit in love to those that God has placed in my life to oversee growth and development.
3. If at anytime issues come up with any of the other members of the network, I will first try and reconcile with the person, then advise my Ju-risdictional Bishop of the issue; then, if the issue is still not resolved, then I will make a formal, written complaint to the Office of the Secretary General so that the Presiding Bishop’s office
can address the issues. 4. I will respect both men and women
in the ministry and will treat all leadership the way I would have wanted to be treated. I will not be a backbiter or a talebearer. I will entreat all with kindness and godly leadership regardless of the minis-try size or economic status.
5. I will do my best to attend all net-work national functions when pos-sible and Jurisdictional functions; And, will not, to the best of my ability, not schedule any services or meetings that will conflict with attendance. If, by some chance this cannot be avoided, then I will send representation to the events to represent me both in person and financially.
6. I will endeavor to be a student of
God’s Word and be willing to learn new things in jurisdictional and national settings. I will not cause confusion or discord because of a difference of faith and or ideas concerning doctrine and/or teaching from scripture.
7. I agree to these rules of engagement with my signature (per actual docu-ment).
