Ordained a Bishop June of 2019, and then ordained as an Apostle by Kevin B. Ware New Faith Ministry International, Barstow, CA, and Chief Apostle Frank Peebles of Miracle Explosion Worldwide Ministries Inc. Apostle Hartdige is a compassionate person who truly understands the role and importance of having a strong and influential church in the community. His first hand knowledge and experience ha
s created many opportunities that provided him the tools of what to do and not to do in building a ministry. Apostle Hartdige is a gifted musician, singer, and songwriter who can play multiple instruments. Apostle Hartdige first began singing and playing instruments in church around the age of five (5). In the month of June in 1987 before his 21st birthday, and prior to going into the U.S. Army at age 20 Apostle Hartdige accepted the call of the ministry to preach the gospel. Apostle Hartdige, while in the Army continued to preach the gospel, and help the local churches in the area on and off the Army base. Upon returning home from the Army, Apostle Hartdige rejoined with one of his affiliated churches as a licensed minister to preach the gospel. Seeing his commitment and strong dedication to preaching and doing the work of the ministry, the pastor of the church put in a recommendation for ordination. Apostle Hartdige has been an ordained minister since June of 1993, as an ordained minister he had been granted the rights to Pastor, to start a ministry, to perform weddings, funerals, and provide counseling. Apostle Hartdige is influential, strong willed and a natural born leader. His unique quality to lead and not to be influence has kept him out many bad situations while growing up in what is known as the South Central part of California. In fact, family, friends, teachers, and coaches were always amazed of how Apostle Hartdige never gave in to the peer pressure that surrounded him. In sports, if he did not get the most valuable player award he always seemed to walk away with the most inspirational honors, and sometimes he would receive both honors. In his senior year Apostle Hartdige was instrumental in starting a gospel choir at his high school. Another unique quality that Apostle Hartdige has is his ability to be revelatory. Growing up many referred to him as one who had an old soul. Bishop Hartdige quite often could be seen talking to and with those who were much older, and leaving them in astonishment of the wisdom and knowledge he posses. Often he would get scolded by the same group while playing with children his own age, and he would be told to act his age and not his shoe size, forgetting that he was yet a child himself.
