About Us

Welcome to Channel of Blessings Outreach Apostolic Ministries (COBOAM), a community of faith that seeks to bring light to your home and community. We are a vibrant and diverse group with members from various nationalities. COBOAM was birthed out of the desire of a group of eight persons who prayerfully sought a change in a previous ministry. With fervency and faithfulness, we continued in fasting and prayer and were led on this path of a ministry with Elder E.W. Edwards is at the helm. On November 10, 2002, our first service was held in the basement of Elder and Evangelist McCarthy´s. Throughout the services held, it became evident that God´s will was for us to embark on the mission of establishing an Apostolic Church that would "make a difference" through outreach and discipleship. We outgrew our temporary quarters and had to secure additional space. On June 8, 2003, we moved to 145 New Street in Decatur, Georgia where the Lord continued to add to the church. We accomplished spiritually and numerically what the Lord had for us at this location and it was now time to find a more convenient place of worship. On October 15, 2005, we relocated to our present location at 4661-B Hammermill Road in Tucker, Georgia. The Lord has done great things for us whereof we are glad! Today, We are hoping to make a tremendous impact in the community, striving to make a difference as we seek to meet the needs of those around. Our outreach program ministers to people locally, nationally and internationally. As our ministry grows, we continue to stand on the premise that "nothing is too hard for God." COBOAM offers various ministries and auxiliaries. There is also a van pick-up service available. To God be the glory!

Mission Statement

Channel of Blessings Outreach Apostolic Ministries was established on integrity and comprise of people who are willing to go where the Lord chooses to send them. Here at C.O.B.O.A.M., we realize that we are but channels through which the works of God can flow. We understand that God is the source and we are the channels which he has chosen to use. With that in mind, we know that our sufficiency is not of ourselves but in the Lord. We will therefore yield ourselves to the moving of the Holy Spirit in whatever direction He will have us to go. We will also keep ourselves in the Love of God and display humility at all times. Our mission is to take the Light of the gospel to homes and communities, changing lives and saving souls. We believe that God has given us the ministry of reconciliation and our honest desire is to minister to the sick and the afflicted, the homeless, the broken-hearted, the castaways, those in prisons and to all others, whatever their needs may be. Our theme song is "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow". Just as Abraham was prepared to get out from among his kindred and go to a land that he knew not of, so have we prepared our hearts and minds to go where the Lord leads us.
