Meet the Pastors

THE SET MAN

The pastoral team at Golden Arena is blessed of the Lord with a team of souls that are sold all out to the Lord. This disposition confers a richness of grace and experience both upon the pastors as shepherds and the entire congregation. The keepers of the house and the gates are filled with the glory of the father and they are conduits for the delivery of the father’s heart to his saints.
