Who We Are
Our church was founded by Apostle Haywood McElveen Jr., affectionately called “The Walking Bible” or “The Revelator.” His unwavering commitment to preaching the Word paved the way for El Shaddai Ministries to become a MEGA Ministry with MEGA Resources, reaching out to communities in need of hope and spiritual guidance. Today, under the leadership of Pastor Marion McElveen, we continue Apostle McElveen’s vision to transform lives by sharing the Gospel with authenticity and love.
