Richard is a Pastor, Preacher, Husband, Father, Mentor, and diligent servant for the Kingdom of God. He accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 14 and immediately became active in the church.

At age 19, while studying at SouthEastern Bible College, the call to ministry began to manifest as Richard accepted the position as a campus Bible Study student facilitator and he later become a campus chaplain. Richard demonstrated a passion and purpose to preach and do ministry. He volunteered with several organizations, including Habitat For Humanity, in an effort to help build homes for less fortunate families in the community.

Pastor Richard J. Cade acquired both a Master of Christian Education (with emphasis on Counseling) and Biblical Studies at SouthEastern Bible College, then later enrolled at Birmingham Easonian Baptist Bible College to further his studies.

Pastor Richard J. Cade was licensed to preach the Gospel in 2000 at Green Liberty Baptist Church (Pastor Pherelle Fowler officiating) while under the leadership of Pastor Anthony Nabors (Zion Hill Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama) and was Ordained as a minister of the Gospel in 2004. He is currently under the leadership of Pastor Andra Sparks, of Forty-Fifth Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama.

He shares his most precious accolade, Husband and Father, with his wife of 16 years, Melanie Renee Taylor Cade and their 8 children - Anita Beatrice, Richard Thomas Jermaine, Nathaniel Ryan, Madison Renee, Mason Tyler, Zachary Prince Nelson, Jacob Israel, and Noah-James Arthur.

His passion for peace and people reaches outside of the church walls. In 2016, Pastor Cade started the non-profit organization "The Man Project", which is a hands-on mentor program for young men in Birmingham and surrounding cities. He also serves as a Chaplain for the Jefferson County Sheriff's office, under Sheriff Mark Pettway.

Accompanied in each of his endeavors by First Lady Melanie Renee, a woman who is exceptionally talented and a blessing to anyone who comes in contact with her, Richard is relentless and has every intent to contend for the faith until Jesus says, "Well Done, Servant".
