Kenyan Southers
Pastor Kenyan K. Southers is becoming the face of a new generation in ministry. Chosen by God for this season, Pastor Southers has dedicated his life to carrying God’s word to the masses. With a heart of openness and non-judgment, he founded Salt Nation Church & Ministries, to the outcast, the wretched, the lost, the looked down upon, and any soul who desires to be saved and learn the ways of the Lord.
From youth, Southers has known God, thanks to the prayer and caring spirit of his grandmother, Vanessa McLean. Raised in the fear and respect of the Lord, Southers understood the importance of being Saved, Baptized, and filled with the Holy Ghost. Growing up, Southers began to live life as most males growing up in Baltimore, MD; however, no matter what he did or where he went God was not too far away, calling him to grow ministry. After graduating from Mount St. Joseph’s College Preparatory high school in 1991, he started his journey in ministry by sitting and studying at the feet of Elder Martin Jacobs, of Christ Deliverance Church. Even though he graduated with distinguished honors earning an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice at the Baltimore City Community College of MD, he became hungry for more and began to heed the voice of God. In 1999, his obedience led him to become a minister. Pastor Southers’ passion for God's truth seemed to burn even greater that within 4 years he was ordained Elder. Eventually, Southers left Christ Deliverance Church in a quest for deeper knowledge and understanding.
As an elder, he continued to proclaim God throughout the land and in 2000; he joined the New Day Fellowship. Under Pastor Bryant K. Martin’s leadership, Southers’ adherence to the word, passion for youth, and activation of the Holy Ghost power within led him to the office of Youth Pastor. During that time, Pastor felt an urgency to learn more he completed courses at the Family Bible College of MD in 2003. Then in 2005, Pastor Martin appointed Southers to the prestigious role of Assistant Pastor. For 8 years, Southers had grown, worshiped, and served with Pastor Martin and the now Freedom Church faithfully. In 2007, at the release of his leader Pastor Southers started an all mens bible study in his home and it grew to large for him to host it at his home he then moved it to his workplace. Then after 1 year his pastor advised him to go out and look for a church because it was his season to Pastor Gods people. In 2008, God had a higher calling for Pastor Southers. Salt Nation Church & Ministries was founded in April and open to all men and women. At that moment God breathed on the ministry and it grew triple the original Men's Bible study. After 2 years of building and establishing. Pastor Southers understood that he couldn't be all that God called him to be without himself submitting to a spiritual father, at that time Pastor Southers along with his thriving growing minstry laid everything at the feet of his spiritual father,and mentor Bishop Ralph L.Dennis as part of Kingdom Fellowship Covenant Ministries. After time of serving, and submitting Bishop Ralph L Dennis identified the leadership anointing on Pastor Southers and in July 2012 was affirmed to the office of Overseer in the Lords Church.
Overseer Southers never misses an opportunity to push the limits of traditional ministry. In doing so, he continued to grow and expand the boundaries until he realized that there is no boundary so the ministry continues to grow. Currently he is the President of Salt Nation Covenant Movement that covers 40 churches, ministries, para ministries, businesses, and personal ministries. In july 2014 Overseer Southers was again elevated and reaffirm to the episcopal office of Bishop Designate in the Lords's Church. Bishop Designate Southers is now pursing his Masters degree in Psychology at Liberty University and is an author of a book entitled "#ijs"(im just saying). He is also completing his aecond book "Penetration" not only has he located the pulse of the market place,but also understand the need for Gods word to spread everywhere so he released two leaders to open Salt Nation Church & Ministries Arizona.
