Minister Fifer, named after his grandfather, has always wanted to be a preacher since the age of five, confident that his destiny and desire to preach the gospel would reach thousands. His grandfather was extremely instrumental in shaping him into the man and preacher he is today — always there teaching him, using the Bible as his guide.
Minister Fifer has been preaching for the majority of his life and, with God giving him the gift of being a visionary, is always focused on seeing the bigger picture. He continues to encourage his flock that as long as we stay humble and focused on Christ, no box can contain what we can accomplish for the cause of Christ.
Academically, Minister Fifer received Biblical training from the Memphis School of Preaching, All Saints Bible College, and Faulkner University, and has obtained a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies and Ministry.
