BISHOP

COLLIER J. STARKS

Anointed, appointed and approved to preach the Gospel, Pastor Starks is noted for his unique preaching ability as he provides sermons tailor-made for the lost soul. In spite of the awesome anointing on his life. Rev. Starks remains modest enough to “keep it real”. His humility allows him to connect with those of any age.

Pastor Starks is focused on developing a holistic ministry, in which unbelievers are renewed and rejuvenated through the Word of God with ministries ranging from B.A.S.I.C (Brothers and Sisters in Christ) to the newly established ‘ Women of Purpose ’.

Pastor Starks’ efforts have been featured in media outlets including

B.E.T’s Sunday Best, Theresa Hairston’s Gospel Artist Showcase Magazine, and The Omaha Tribune in Omaha, Nebraska as he was listed as “Who’s Who Among Young African-American Ministers.”

As a graduate of Carver Bible College, Pastor Starks is known for his energetic, spirit filled and comprehensive sermons. God has gifted him vocally and in fact some say that if you love his preaching, then “you’ll adore his singing”.

He is the proud husband of First Lady Tameka Starks and he is a devoted father to his precious children, Kendall (Mack) and Collier, Jr. (C.J.).
