MEET OUR PASTORS
Bishop Joel Talley has been raised in a Pastors Home. W.H.Talley Jr. Jimmy & Rachel Talley. He has been in full time ministry for over 30 plus years, Preaching his first revival at 12 years old. Joel has served as a full-time evangelist most all of his ministry.
He served at a church for a short-term as Youth Pastor, Praise and Worship Leader, and Assistant Pastor. God blessed during this time. The youth group grew from 15 to 150 every Wednesday night.
Joel returned back to full time Evangelism. God has honored him with the privilege of speaking in 45 states and in one foreign country.
Joel and Regina have ministered in many churches, camp meetings, city-wide crusades, numerous youth camps and events, several International Church of God WinterFest: SonFest in Florida, Artic-fest in Alaska, and Amplify Middle School WinterFest in Chattanooga, TN.

They co-birthed a youth conference that was once called “PraiseFest”. The name is now “Shabbach”. This youth conference began with 40, but now runs 3000 teens and is being hosted in many locations. As a result of this ministry team, thousands have come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and called into the ministry.
They served as State Evangelists for the Church of God in Northern Georgia for 8 years, preaching in the majority of the churches across the state as well as traveled extensively across the nation, averaging 286 revival services a year.
God has blessed them with outstanding extended revivals lasting from 10 weeks, to 9 months at 1 church, seeing God bless with miraculous manifestations. God used some revivals to literally revolutionize that local church for extraordinary growth.
