Bishop Raphael Green
CBN.com –Taken from Metro Christian Worship Center website:
"Raphael Green was born and raised in the inner-city of St. Louis, Missouri. At the early age of six (July1, 1961) he entered into a permanent relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. His initial desire to serve as a Christian U.S. senator from his state was changed through the Holy Spirit's direction to focus on and implement relevant evangelism and innovative apostolic ministry initiatives in the Urban World. He has served in licensed ministry since the age of 17 (1972) and ordained ministry since the age of 24 (1979). Bishop Raphael earned and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology from Oral Roberts University (Tulsa, OK) in 1978 and a Master of Arts 'inter-disciplinary' degree in Biblical Studies and Public Policy in 1986 from Regent University (Virginia Beach, VA)."
"He is an entrepreneurial, intergenerational, apostolic and prophetic leader dedicated to the birth, development and deployment of excellent, relevant, competent, creative, compassionate and consecrated leadership, thriving congregations and other strategic entities and initiatives for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in the Urban World in the 21st century and beyond.
He regards as his highest honors, second only to his relationship to Christ, his roles as husband and life partner to Brenda, father, grandfather and pastor. "
