He then became the assistant minister at the Metro Central church of Christ in Detroit, Michigan, for approximately 3.5 years.  As an assistant minister to Ronald Cross, minister at the Metro Central congregation, God blessed the membership and/or Sunday worship attendance numbers to grow considerably and most of all, many souls were brought into Christ!  While at this congregation, Anthony established the New Converts’ Class and trained men to become Bible study teachers.  He also established the Media Ministry and participated in much of the strategic planning efforts of the congregation.

After preaching at the Metro Central church of Christ, Anthony was also the minister at the Moore Avenue church of Christ in Anniston, Alabama. for about 3.5 years.  He worked side-by-side with the members there in a labor of love reaching souls for Christ and active in community works.

Anthony’s goal in the ministry is to first please God in all aspects of life and the work of the church.  He believes that a minister must be a Christian first and live as an example to the flock.  In conjunction with this goal, he further strives to love God and his neighbor as himself.
