Who We Are

Rev. LK Linnard Harris Sr, a native of Richmond, Virginia, is married to Terri Goodman-Harris and has long standing camaraderie with Rev. V.S. Bray as they served in the military together.

With an impressive array of accomplishments, there is little Minister Harris hasn't done. In fact, he believes it is better to ask him, "what haven't you done?".

He has served as a police officer and substitute teacher, authored five books, and excelled as a mentor and motivational speaker. Not stopping there, he wrote, produced, and directed his first movie, "You Reap What You Sow", and launched a television talk show titled "The Impact of Reality". In addition, Minister Harris even pursued a political career, running for the Virginia House of Delegates. His educational background is equally impressive, as he holds a doctorate degree in Christian Counseling and Humanities.

It is clear that Minister Harris's passion for helping others with relationships and relational values has led him to answer the call from God to be a fisher of men.
