Minister James Allen

Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This has been Reverend Allen's roadmap to his Christian walk. He has learned to trust and acknowledge God in everything resulting in an abundant walk and influencing many throughout the years.

Reverend Allen was raised in Fayetteville North Carolina and developed a more personal relationship with Christ in 2001. As a member of New Mission Baptist Church, he studied God's word with hunger and diligence. There he was licensed and began his preaching ministry in 2006 and was ordained in 2014, by the late Dr. Walter O. Whitfield. He has since preached God's word with love and conviction. His greatest Gift is his humility and the desire to serve God's people with love and compassion.
