Pastor Carl L. Washington, III is a native of Baltimore, Maryland.  His focus for ministry in the 21st Century is centered on discipleship, stewardship and community- imploring technology to advance the kingdom.  He believes preaching and teaching to be at the core of kingdom building, but also understands that kingdom building begins with community building.

Pastor Washington believes in the intersectionality of spiritual, intellectual and human concerns grounded in the scriptural assertion to "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus."  Changing the mind, changes the heart and this changes the human.  He is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the College of New Rochelle, possessing a Bachelor of Science Degree with a focus in Sociology and a Yale University graduate having completed the Master of Divinity Program.

Pastor Washington married his high school sweetheart, the former Ms. Keisha Acco. God has blessed their marriage these last 18 years with 4 beautiful children: Carl IV, Cameron, Caiden, and Kaylen.
