In Memoriam: Sis. Beth Riley

“She hath done what she could.” - Mark 14:8

The Apostolic World Christian Fellowship stands in solemn honor, spiritual reverence, and united grief as we mark the homegoing of Sister Beth Riley, a faithful laborer in the vineyard of the LORD, devoted wife of Apostle B.J. Riley (our Director of International Missions), First Lady of Victory Community Church, and a pillar in the Apostolic faith. She entered into her eternal reward in the presence of the LORD on Friday, September 5, 2025.

Sister Beth was more than a supportive spouse. She was a fervent intercessor, a discipler of women, a mentor to many, and a faithful steward of the Kingdom of God. Her departure leaves a spiritual vacancy felt around the world, yet her legacy will continue in the souls she impacted, the prayers she prayed, and the ministry she upheld.

A Life Marked by the Gospel

Sister Beth lived what she preached and preached what she lived. Through her work with Victory Community Church and the House of Victory Recovery Center, she poured herself into the salvation, restoration, and healing of others. She labored beside her husband in missions both local and international, and was known for her grace, strength, and Spirit-led example.

She walked with dignity, spoke with wisdom, and lived in the power of the Holy Ghost. Her life testifies to the truth of 2 Timothy 4:7–8:

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness...”

This will be no ordinary service. It will be a worship encounter. We expect tears, yes, but also praise, repentance, Holy Ghost outpouring, and salvation. Sister Beth’s life always pointed people to JESUS, and we believe her memorial will do the same.

Render Tribute to Whom Tribute is Due

“Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due… honour to whom honour.” - Romans 13:7

The cost of losing Sister Beth Riley is incalculable. Spiritually, only Christ can fill such a void. Yet, in the natural, the Body of Christ has the sacred opportunity to support.

We humbly ask all churches, leaders, saints, and ministries who have been blessed by the life and ministry of Sister Beth to contribute toward her funeral and relocation expenses. This includes the transfer from Washington, D.C. to Indiana, along with all related costs.

Her Legacy Lives

Sister Beth Riley has entered into joy unspeakable. She has beheld the face of the One she served so faithfully. She is not lost to us. She is only gone ahead.

Let all of AWCF and the Body of Christ rise to honor her life, uphold her family, and continue the work she helped establish. Her voice may be silent, but her impact will echo until the LORD returns.

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy LORD.” — Matthew 25:21
