Dr. Chandler is the pastor of Garden of Hope Church of God in Christ. He is a Moderator - Laity Leadership Class for the Church of God in Christ - O. T. Jones Institute during its Annual Holy Convocation. Dr. Chandler specializes in Laity Leadership. Lay leaders are recognized as the pillars and foundation of Christ’s church and are given the undaunted task of moving the faithful into a journey of faithfulness. It is a guarded position which responsibly imposes that lay leaders have a relationship with God. Today, navigating faith is filled with overcoming world systems bent upon the destruction of the believer’s faith through immorality, violence and the sensibility and insensibility surrounding culture. How can believers model an effective faith today amidst diverse culture? What responsibilities must the believers seek to attain and sustain their evidence of being faithful and more.
