Leadership

Graham spent 13 years in ministry in the New York area, engaging in youth and young adult ministries, striving to present each message with the intention of motivating his listeners to prepare themselves for the soon coming of Christ. As a result, in 2002, Graham launched Full Circle Ministries to empower youth and young adults to participate in evangelism and wholesome activities, reaching both churched and unchurched individuals. Graham loves teaching the Word of God and helping as many as possible gain a better understanding of the Gospel and a stronger walk with the Master.

Pastor Paul Graham accepted the call to be an associate for pastoral ministries in October of 2020. Graham most recently served as senior pastor of Potomac’s Restoration Praise Center in Bowie, Md.

Often found with his hands out-stretched to those in need, Elder Kaneil Williams is a man whose heart is for those who have yet to encounter the love of the Savior. He has followed the calling of God to live a life of service since his first mission experience in El Salvador in 2006. Elder Williams' motivation to serve comes from Micah 6:8 "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

The mission of Community of Hope's outreach ministry is to activate believers in service to our church and neighboring communities in hope-sustaining work that mirrors that of Christ's method of ministry. We do this by building relationships, showing sympathy, ministering to the needs of the people, and inviting them to a saving relationship with Christ.

When he is not evangelizing and serving the community, Elder Williams is a community outreach director at Year Up Baltimore. There he coordinates programs and employment opportunities for young adults ranging from eighteen to twenty-four, who desire mentorship and trade development. He is the husband of the beautiful Chenelle Williams.
