Maintaining dedication to the ministry, Pastor Pollard graduated from Morehouse with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Religion and Philosophy and a minor in Psychology. Being filled with a vision, he adopted the philosophy, “As a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he, for with God, all things are possible.” A soldier for the Lord, Pastor Pollard is relentless in reaching and rescuing souls. His sermons and speeches are clear, concise and profound. Through various genres, they are used in many facets to Advance the Kingdom. His family, First Lady Libby J. Pollard, princesses Gabrielle and Danielle, his mother, Jessie Pollard, two siblings, Denise and Reginald, support his ministry/ vision immensely and bountifully reap the many benefits of him being husband, father, son and brother.
