Pastor Anthony L Davis SR. has been married to his lovely wife Linda Davis for 34 years and have been blessed with 4 wonderful children.  As a young child he was taught to trust in the Lord. He knew as a child that he was different and not like other people.

Pastor Anthony graduated from Hughes High School and then in-listed in the army. While serving guard duty one winter night with a fellow Christian he accepted Jesus as his Lord and savior. Although saved he continued to run from his calling until 1994 when he would meet a devout man of God who would reintroduce him to Jesus Christ and invite him to a class at New Life Temple.

That invite would lead Pastor Anthony and Sis Linda to serve as armor bearers under the Senior Pastor at New Life Temple (Apostle Ralph and Ophelia Godfrey) for twelve years.  In 2008 Pastor Anthony heard the voice of God calling him to preach the Gospel and he obeyed the voice of the Lord. He had just lost his mother only weeks prior to fulfilling his call but with the strength of the Lord delivered a powerful message that would spark the coming of a new season in his life.

Pastor Anthony and Sis. Linda stepped out on faith and for 5 years shepherd a church in Forest Park called Covenant Christian Center with their profound teaching and evangelistic spirit, young and old have given their lives to Christ. The Lord would speak to Pastor Anthony again in 2013 and direct him to temporarily shut the church down and direct him to return to school where he studied organizational leadership, church organization and humanity.

After three years of studying at Cincinnati Christian university Pastor Anthony and Sis. Linda relaunched Covenant Christian Center. It had always been a dream for Pastor Anthony to do missionary work and in 2019 he accompanied Pastor Ralph Godfrey Jr to South Africa. At the start of 2020 Covenant Christian Center joined ministries with New Life Temple for the advancement of the kingdom.

Pastor Keith Russell was born and raised in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. His mother raised him up in the church. Even before he understood the call on his life, he felt there had to be more to his life than just being a member of a local church.

He graduated from Thiel college with a degree in Medical Technology in 1993. In 1999, Keith moved to Cincinnati Ohio for what he thought was a career advancement but actually it was an opportunity to grow in the Kingdom of God. In 2001, Keith started attending New Life Temple Church.

He attended and became part of the first graduating class of the New Life Temple Bible College in 2008. Soon after that, Keith became one of the deacons at New Life Temple Church.
