Pastor Winfield accepted the call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ on September 16, 1991. He has enforced his role in pastoral leadership as: Youth Pastor, Executive Pastor in Chicago, and Establishmentarian of a thriving and growing church in Las Vegas, Nevada. As he continues to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ here in Fort Worth, he stands on the scripture Joshua 1:8, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Pastor Winfield’s greatest inspiration by far is Veronica, his wife, and their three sons: Christiaan, Joshua and Caleb.
