Our Senior Pastor
Our Pastor, also known as Apostle David Watkins, has been ordained by the Holy Spirit to lead the fulfillment of a Holy Vision that guides our ministry. This Holy Vision was originally given to the late Dorea Chara Dolan, our Founder and Dean Emeritus, in 1957. As one of the original twelve team ministers trained by Dr. Dolan, Dean David now carries the mantle originally bestowed upon Dr. Dorea Chara.
Affectionately called "The Keeper", Apostle Watkins is a true man of GOD, blessed with a true Pastor’s heart, and GOD-like compassion. Endowed with the spiritual gifts of wisdom and knowledge, he leads this ministry as a humble servant of GOD. He possesses a supernatural ability to bring GOD’s word to life through humor. As he ministers under the anointing of the Holy Ghost, the Word pierces the heart - injecting a burning desire to be reconciled back unto GOD in truth and righteousness. Apostle Watkins is called to minister in every aspect of life - spiritually, mentally, physically and financially. He is heavily endowed with the fruit of Love, and is also specially anointed in the fruits of Longsuffering, Temperance, Faith and Meekness.
Apostle Watkins and our Founding Team Members embrace the Holy Vision of the ministry with every fiber of their beings. They fully submit to the Voice of GOD and deliver GOD’s people out of bondage by:
• standing in the gap to restore new life.
• proclaiming liberty to the captives and healing to the broken-hearted.
• showing the way of salvation to the lost.
• pulling down the strongholds of the enemy.
• preaching repentance through continual sanctification.
In obedience to the Will of GOD and in accordance with the Holy Vision, Apostle Watkins commands the charge to build, arm and equip a holy army. He continuously goes the extra mile to empower others to tear down the strongholds of the enemy and to live victorious lives in Jesus Christ.
