Calvin Keith Obituary

Almight God, look with compassion upon the sorrows of your servants at Agape InnerCity Christian Assembly (Agape Ministries). Remember them, Lord, in mercy; nourish them with patience; comfort them with a sense of your goodness; lift up your countenance upon them; and give them peace; throught Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



As a student of spiritual greatness, which translates into God's humility, I will miss one of the two great pioneers of Christianity in Church of Charleston, South Carolina. This pastor and the congregation at Agape have benefited from Apostle Keith's wisdom and biblical experience. We loved him and will always love him with a pure love -- the love of the Lord's Christ.



Therefore, we pray: Almighty God, our Father in heaven, before whom live all who die in the Lord: Receive your Apostle, C.A. Keith into the courts of your heavenly dwelling place. Let his heart and soul now ring out in joy to you, O Lord, the living god, and the God of those who live. This we ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.



Lord God, wash Apostle Keith in your holy font of everlasting life, and clothe him in his heavenly wedding garment.



We also pray for all who mourn, that they may cast their cares on God, and know the consolation of his love.

To the families (biological and spiritual) of Apostle Keith;

I am indeed grateful for the opportunity to have sat in the company of one of God's pioneers of the faith. On various occasions I shared the gospel of Jesus Christ in Apostle's pulpit. However, I felt as if I should have been in the pew, gleaning the wisdom in which the Apostle exegetically expounded the scriptures! He will sorely be missed by ministers who benefited from his example. Due to obligations in Winston Salem, I will not be able to attend the celebration but my wife Judy and I send heartfelt sentiments of needed strength.

God Bless!

To the family, spiritual children and friends of a wonderful gift, God’s faithful servant – Apostle Calvin A. Keith. It is my heartfelt prayer that God will forever richly bless and comfort you in your time of celebrating & remembering the life/legacy of a Great Man of God. “Pop” and Mother Keith dedicated and shared their lives, ministry, & love unselfishly with so many throughout the many years of their ministry. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for allowing me to be born, raised, nurtured and taught in a “holiness” ministry under the leadership of Apostle Calvin A. Keith.



It’s an awesome delight and comforting assurance to know, we who have true relationship with Christ will see Pop, Mother & all those who have transitioned, again before the throne worshiping, loving and adoring our Heavenly Father.



Thanks, Pop…

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God, Let us follow the path that our Master has trod; With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew, Let us do with our might what our hands find to do. (Toiling on, toiling on, Toiling on, toiling on; Let us hope and trust, let us watch and pray and labor till the Master comes.)



That is just what Apostle Keith has done. He worked in God's vineyard diligently. He has been called from Labor to REWARD!!!



I love you Pop!!!
