I’ve been married to my wonderful bride Brittany since 2009, and we have four amazing children: Aaron, Zipporah, Jonathan, and Hadassah. I attained a Master’s of Biblical Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and am currently pursuing a Ph. D from NAIITS. It is my desire to be in a place where God is clearly at work through His sovereign hand bringing the nations to a city. The multiculturalism already exists in Orlando; there are simply many who haven’t experienced the redemptive side of it, and nothing thrills me more than seeing that happen in Orlando. If we can reach more and more people with good news of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, who redeems all people, and all cultures from slavery to the order of this world for the purpose of restoring them to His new purpose, the entire world can be reached. God is a perfect unity, and He desires to bring about perfect unity. His church has been called to reflect this unity as well as bring more and more image bearers into participation in this unity.

I heard it once said that “mission was not made for the church, the church was made for mission – God’s mission.” My desire is to participate in the mission of God, and church planting is one of the best ways for me to do this. God has gifted me with a strong passion and effectiveness in evangelism, shepherding, and leadership, and he has called me to exercise these gifts through planting New Creation Fellowship in downtown Orlando. My role at New Creation Fellowship involves vision casting as well as creating, shaping, and influencing the culture, while being one of the primary teachers and preachers. God is doing a new thing in downtown Orlando, and I’m excited to participate in his mission as a minister of reconciliation.

Demetrius has been serving in ministry since his teenage years and has been following the Lord most of his life. His passion for seeing people spiritually and emotionally healthy has been felt in the ministries he’s been a part of over the last decade. His heart for worship has led him to travel across the United States, leading the church in singing to the Lord. He is currently in the accelerate program at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary pursuing a BA in Biblical Studies and MDiv. He released a few musical projects that you can check out wherever you buy music!
