About the Pastor

I was called to Gods ministry long before "I" heard His call. I heard the voice of God calling me in 1999 and when I heard I answered and when I answered I was chosen. I have not turned back.

I can only give my beginnings to you as God has given them to me. As a youth I received my foundational teaching and training under the leadership of Reverend Clarence Boyd of Ebenezer Baptist Church and from there I was led to Bishop John R. Kersey of Abundant Life C.O.G.I.C. International. It was there that I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and God taught me how to worship Him in spirit and in truth. The hand of God was upon me and he carried me to Cornerstone and Prophet Charles Talley and it was then that God allowed me to understand my journey and training as a prophet of God.

In 2007 House of Praise was birthed as an end time prophetic ministry established to allow freedom of worship and praise and to train up disciples in the work of the Lord. December 2, 2007 was our first praise and worship service and since that time God has blessed the church with dedicated servants to do his will; out of the House of Praise the Woman Loosed women's ministry and God's Child youth ministry have been birthed.

We have also been blessed to receive into the House of Praise an Associate Pastor, Gwen Wood, who has been called by God to this vineyard to help fulfill the vision that has been given to this church.

Our mission statement is John 4:34...and Jesus saith unto them, my  meat is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

In 2007 I was licensed as a missionary by Bishop Vincent Cooley of Freedom Fellowship Nationwide, Inc. and was led to become part of the movement of God with this assembly; and in 2008 he licensed me as a Pastor.

I know the hand of God is upon this work and I give Him all honor, glory and praise; and I thank Him for allowing me to be a part of His grand design.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
