BIO

Pastor Drake is married to his college sweetheart Ceara Young. They have 3 children. He played percussion in the Southern University Marching Band, and served in the U.S Army. During his spare time; he enjoys reading and listening to great sermons and trying to master the game of golf. 

Pas. Drake’s preaching style includes careful explanation of Scripture combined with his signature ability to tell detailed, credible and indelible stories from contemporary life that enrich the sermon and relates to the congregation. He also makes penetrating and specific application of the text to his people. He does all of this while maintaining the vibrant preaching tradition of church and culture in an atmosphere of celebration.

Those who sit under his preaching would most aptly describe his attitude using Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 2:1.

“When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.  For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.”

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Pas Drake just want you to come to church and fellowship with other believers. Remember church is not recreation, it's essential.
