The Center For Kingdom Advancement
TCFKA — Where Kings and Priests Are Made
An intergenerational, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and nondenominational discipleship training center — bridging weekly gatherings, community outreach, prophetic and apostolic commissioning, and a reforming culture of intercessory prayer and worship as a mobilized workforce for the Kingdom of God.
The Spiritual Makeup of TCFKA
The 21st Century Marketplace Model for Church Ministry — built on the conviction that Jesus Christ is the Inexhaustible Treasure.
We have this treasure in earthen vessels...2 Corinthians 4:7
As a "growing apostasy" becomes more prevalent amongst Christ's Church, the necessity for HIS Remnant to seek intimacy, maturity and unity is at a critical mass. In order for our relevance and "the rewards of HIS suffering" to become a present reality — and a source of renewal and revival to every believer — we must be ready to transition from heaven to earth through alignment and agreement with HIS Eternal Agenda, Timing & Ways.
Are We Real, Relational & Relevant?
Post-modernism presents a trans-generational question to the Body of Christ about our place in today's progressive culture and postmodern climate.
The search of this generation for identity, meaning, and purpose. Results mean nothing if 'the authentic' is not seen and demonstrated.
The search of this generation for credibility, liberality, and missional-based relationships. Acceptance means everything when 'the affirmation' of peers is both felt and shared.
The search of this generation for individualism, results, and values. Relevance means impact — 'if the answer is in culture, religion or science, so be it!'
The Prophet Daniel: A Prototype Personality
We are called to STAND as the Prophet Daniel did in his generation — living with holy character, divine vision, and prophetic engagement in a world undergoing rapid change.
Holy Character
Alignment with Christ through consistently abiding produces HIS Character and HIS Convictions in the heart of the true disciple.
Divine Vision
Purpose-driven people don't pursue their own will, but the Will of The Father; all vain visions must cease in the Body of Christ (Ezekiel 12:21-28).
End-time Enlightened
Divine perspective is the focus of a truly engaged Bride, seeking intimacy and understanding of Christ's end-time agenda.
Faith Focused on God's Sovereignty
Daniel could not have withstood the upheaval and violence of captivity without his focus remaining on the sovereignty of God during changing times.
Consecrated Vessels
When God's people prioritize the use of their time, talent and treasure, supernatural mobilization and progress becomes common.
Prophetically Engaged
The church is in the earth to 'prophetically engage the culture,' but that mandate requires maturity and methodologies in line with the world's pulse.
"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him."
Daniel 2:20–23 NKJV
The 7 Biblical Keys to Effective Ministry in the 21st Century
These seven keys form the theological and methodological backbone of everything TCFKA does — rooted in the conviction that Jesus Christ is the Inexhaustible Treasure.
What God Is Building
On July 1, 2010, after seven years of preparation, the Spirit of the Lord commissioned Walter L. Smith III (WS-3), Founder & President, to establish The Center For Kingdom Advancement in Hollywood — the cultural landscape that shapes the entire world.
"Expect the enlargement of Myself in you, to draw sudden attention during times of normal interaction and exchange. The times demand a contagious and conspicuous anointing, because the days are quickly drawing to a close — as My agenda is progressed into overdrive through the responsiveness of My servants to My will."
Word of the Lord to the TCFKA Fellowship — July 3, 2010
The Meaning of the TCFKA Crest

Blue
Celestial and heavenly power, spiritual dominance and heaven-bestowed authority. Symbolizes unimpeded growth, unlimited potential, and indomitable opportunity — the perpetuity of eternity's government.
Gold
The refinement of spirit, royalty and transcendence — representing opulent wealth and spiritual power.
White
Triumph, victory in conflict, righteousness, and purity. It also bespeaks of holiness and success.
The Arch
Transcendence — passing from the bounds of the earthly to the heavenly.
The Cross
Christ's victory over death, hell, the power of sin, and the grave — through His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father.
The Candle
Illumination (light in darkness), revelation, guidance, and a spiritual pathway; also represents the fallibility of the human soul and the duration of life.
The Dove
The Holy Spirit marking the life of the believer in wisdom, grace and virtue.
Double Doors
An entrance into high-powered positions — the presence of royalty, authority and rulership, as an entryway to kingdoms of this world.
The Lion
The Lord Jesus Christ as The Triumphant & Sovereign King.
Our Kingdom-Advancing Initiatives
Every program flows from a New Testament Marketplace Model — educating, empowering, and engaging the world in a culturally relevant, globally replicable way.
The Joseph Mandate
A cutting-edge multi-cultural mentorship and training program of marketplace seminars covering basic, intermediate and advanced workforce strategies — developing discipleship networks and accountability groups in the 7 cultural mountains of influence: government, business, medicine, the family, academia, entertainment/sports, and law.
House of Prayer for All Nations
A radical and revolutionary movement of prophetic intercession and strategic prayer that shifts the heavenlies — moving with the rhythm and reverberation of the heartbeat of God for the Jews, the Church, and the Nations. Decreeing and declaring in perfect agreement with Christ, the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
The Servant-Leadership Institute
The educational arm of TCFKA providing a year-round spiritually intensive core curriculum of basic, intermediate, and advanced coursework — strategically instructing on the laws, principles, and statutes of the Kingdom of God through carefully selected resource materials and multi-media tools.
Institute for Advocacy, Interfaith Learning & Mediation
A select group of servant-hearted, influential, and like-minded ecumenical leaders who create a healthy forum of exchange for advocacy, learning and mediation — fostering strategic economic and social justice activities while using the platform to represent and reflect Christ to interfaith leaders and the unbelieving community.

A Generation Ready for Change
There is an emerging generation of radically passionate men, women, youth, and children committed to the Kingdom of God — who know that it's time for a change, and are willing to commit their hearts to something greater than themselves.

"When God originally called me to impact the epicenter and gateway of the Arts & Entertainment Community — planted in the center of Hollywood and Ontario, CA — HE strategically educated me on the importance of 'people' — development, empowerment and eternal bridge-building; and NOT to ever focus on church growth strategies or to ever pursue my own ambitious pursuits."
Walter L. Smith III (WS-3) — Apostolic Founder / Lead Pastor
