Minister Dexter H. Shelby was born and in Clinton, Ms, there he attended St. Mark M. B. Church, where the pastor is Willis Washington, Jr. Dexter always seemed to find himself as a leader of almost every organization that he was involved in. Totally unaware of knowing that God was training him for a much greater role... the ministry. Minister Dexter was called by God into the Pastor/Teacher role of the ministry and licensed to preach The Gospel on September 21, 2008. He is currently in his Junior year in the pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies, with a focus on "Family" and "Christian Leadership" (Belhaven University). Minister Dexter has also been certified as a missions instructor by the Perspective on World Christian Movement Organization.
Minister Dexter believes that by training and educating men with a true knowledge of what and where God says a man should be, according to His Word that we could change our families, communities, and even impact the lives of those who will follow us. One of his main goals for The Park is to provide that training for men through support from Pastor Dial and the vision that God has given him. He believes that with God's help the men of The Park can become an IMPACTful FORCE for their families, communities, and later the men of wherever God may direct their paths. |
