Leadership

Pastor Crystal does not come from a Christian household and was not raised in the Church. However, she fell in love with God in 2009 and has been passionate about His Word for over 15 years. She has been called to equip, heal, and deliver God’s people through the preached word of God and the laying on of hands. She is known for her ability to relate to and meet people right where they are, crossing generations and cultures through the love of Christ. Her messages challenge people where they are and push them to where God desires them to be. She truly has a heart for God’s people and the Kingdom and believes that everyone deserves a second chance no matter what they’ve gone through in life.

Pastor Crystal knows that we serve a God of Love. He often gives second, third, and fourth chances because HE did it for her.  When she wanted to walk away from God after her son was murdered, HE wouldn't let her go. When she ignored HIM and did her own thing, HE kept calling her back to HIM. The same that HE gave to her, saved her, loves her, HE also gives to others.

Pastor Johann serves alongside his wife Crystal. He is lovingly known in the community as Yo. Pastor Yo has a heart to serve in whatever capacity that’s required of him in God’s house; and is always eager to learn and do what’s required to ensure that God’s house operates in decency and order. He was drawn to Christ through the love of music and oversees the Music and Media Ministries as Director of Music.

He understands that when true authentic praise and worship go forward, we can sit under an open heaven and witness heaven on earth. He knows that we were all created to worship Christ with our deeds, trumpets, stringed instruments, and with our dance; and that music is an instrument that God designed to push us into higher realms with Him. Psalm 150:1-6

Evangelist Ciera serves in the role of Chief Ministry Officer. She has been boldly spreading the Word of God for over 10+ years and is always eager to tell someone about the goodness of Jesus Christ and how He saved her. Whether on her job, in church, or on the streets, you can always rely on Ciera to share God's word with those who cross her path. Her motto is, if God can change her, He can change anyone and she’s always eager to tell her testimony. Revelations 12:11-12.

As Chief Ministry Officer, Ciera is responsible for ensuring that every person who visits ECI encounters Christ, through the love that’s shown, the grace that’s given, and the experience they encounter.  

Prophet Tamar serves as the Prophet of the house. She has a life of prayer and dedicates time to hear from God in order to share God's heart and message with others. She has a heart to lead people to Christ and seeks to better understand God's direction for her life and those she is called to minister to. She is a watchmen in the spirit and seeks to give others a sense of comfort.

As the house Prophet, Tamar is responsible to pray, seek and stand in the gap for every person connected to ECI. Her goal is to never allow the word that God has spoken to her and instructed her to speak to fall on rocky ground, nor among thorns, but on good ground. Luke 8:8-15. NKJV.  She lives by Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own uderstanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." KJV.

Evangelist Candi co-leads the Evangelist work alongside Evangelist Ciera. Candi is a worshipper and intercessor at heart who joyfully carries the burdens of others in the spirit and takes them to the feet of Christ. Candi has a spirit of boldness that allows her to encounter others not as strangers, but those belonging to the Kingdom. She loves God's people and desires to see everyone she meets saved.

Candi also leads our Hospitality and Welcome team.  She desires that for every person who crosses the doorstep of ECI that they feel the love of Christ, through a smile, a hug, handshake or eye contact. That they know that ECI is a safe place to worship, cry, heal, be delivered and set free. The bible tells us that we shall know them by their fruit and if they don't have love, they have nothing. Candi is truly the fruit and definition of Love.

The daughter of De'Shone & Prophet Tamar King, Serenity is a servant at heart and has been trained up and prayed over from the womb. She loves God and loves to pray with and for God's people. She's not afraid to minister to others at church, her friends at school or even strangers to share the Goodnews of Christ.

Her ministry is sign language and she delights to share and draw those in through different avenues.
