Harrison will be installed as the Pastor before the church family, his family, and friends, the community, and the nation on July 1, 2018.

Reverend Harrison is a native of Chicago, Illinois. He accepted his calling into the Gospel Ministry at the age of 16.   He was later licensed and ordained as a Baptist Minister. His gifts as a communicator and leader have afforded him the opportunity to speak at a plethora of faith-based, educational, governmental, social justice, philanthropic, and community organizations. Rev. Harrison proudly serves as a mentor, minister, and a motivator. He was raised in the West Englewood community, in the city of Chicago. Englewood is a neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago that is notorious for poverty, unemployment, crime, gun violence, gangs, and drug infestation. He graduated from Yale University with a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) Degree in May 2015 and will be pursuing a Doctorate Degree at Duke University.

Reverend Harrison is an example that African-American males in America can overcome the odds, reach their dreams, and transform the world for the Glory of God and the good of humanity.
