About Upper Room Assemblies INTL
In 2004, the spirit of the Lord birthed R. King Ministries through our Chief, Bishop Ray A. King. The Lord spoke to our leader and said “My leaders need a safe place to be inspired, instructed, enlightened and encouraged”. The Lord continued to say “They need a safe place to bleed when they become weak and a place to propel them into their next phase of leadership when they have become trapped by complacency”.
Bishop King surrendered to this Apostolic mandate and begun to organize workshops, retreats and conferences for his local leaders. As time progressed, there seemed to be a greater need on a broader level. By this time, the Lord allowed Bishop King to assist in establishing three churches, restoring of two dying churches, and the birthing of many sons and daughters to walk in their fivefold ministry gift(s).
The first four men to assist in this kingdom mandate were the late Bishop Alfred Payne, Bishop Nicholas Soto, Pastor James Graham and Bishop Robert Bolton. Since then, many have assisted Bishop King in the advancement of the Lord’s kingdom through the Fellowship.
After much prayer, fasting and meditation, in January of 2026 the apostolic council agreed to re-name the Fellowship to Upper Room Assemblies International. We believe the re-naming of the Fellowship is a new beginning for the greater work of this faith community.
This fellowship is yet unfolding and great history shall continue to be made through God’s leaders; won’t you come and join us!?
Our Mission/Vision
To empower leaders in the BODY of CHRIST at all levels for successful and productive leadership. We carry out this vision through leader and church strengthening, support, and strategy.
Our goal is to see healthy, mature leaders and churches transform the world through the love of Christ by making disciples, developing additional Christ-like leaders, and birthing new church ministries.
We envision a network of leaders and churches connected together under the Lordship of Christ, where leaders and churches find support and experience the joy of working together as the body of Christ.
We desire a prayer saturated culture where the plans of God are seen and embraced and the work of God in fulfilling the Great Commission is met with faith and wisdom.
