Pastor and Founder

Marion Darneille

Marion's life story is a profound narrative of faith and resilience. Born in 1976, he found his path to Christianity through the guidance of Nita Herrington, leading to his baptism and lifelong commitment to the Christian faith. Marion's spiritual depth was further forged through a near-death experience in 2017, which he overcame with remarkable faith and determination. His survival and recovery from a heart transplant in late 2022 embody the transformative power of hope and perseverance as taught in the scriptures. Marion holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and is currently pursuing studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and George W. Truett Theological Seminary. Marion worked in various retail businesses, primarily in management, for 28 years until his health prevented him from continuing in late 2020.
