Love Fellowship Church Leadership
Love Fellowship Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.
Michael S. Wilson
Assistant Pastor
Elder Michael Wilson is currently an Elder at Love Fellowship Church, under the leadership of Pastor Woodrow Wilson. Michael was led by God and directed by his Pastor Willie I Graves Jr of St Phillips Baptist Church to join with his brother in establishing Love Fellowship Church. After 20 years of membership at St Phillips Baptist Church, Michael was committed to support Pastor Wilson in building Love Fellowship Church. During the last five years of training Michael has joyfully operated in the gifts of ministry, preaching and teaching and submitting himself to God’s work.
Michael was born on June 8,1962 to Woodrow & Mary Wilson (Mother of the Church), who stressed the importance of reaching out and helping others.
Elder Michael accepted the Lord as a young child and responded to the call of sharing the gospel; Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15) His street ministry began when he was only 9 years old, and he led several of his friends to Christ.
In 2009, Michael was instrumental in the outreach ministry by leading lost souls to Christ at St Phillips Baptist Church. He assisted in the development and coordination of The SideWalk Sunday School Evangelist Ministry. They ministered throughout different communities and urban streets of Philadelphia, preaching the Good News.
During the 1990’s Minister Michael assisted with the development of the Way To Life Recovery Ministry under the coordination of his brother Elder Woodrow Wilson. This ministry reached out to suffering addicts and alcoholics and introduced them to Christ and a new way of life.
Michael found his wife, Dr. Nancy (Williams) while serving at St Phillips Baptist Church, she is the daughter of the late Florence Williams (Mother of the Church). Michael believed that if you delight yourself into the Lord he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 Michael has one beloved son, Velonza Shayne Frederick, and together they have a beautiful music ministry.
Through the Gospel, God has given Michael a desire to reach out to the down-trotted and less fortunate, his passion to help others, led to his career in counseling and therapy. He has worked with others in Genesis II Residential Program, The Key Program at Gander Hill Prison, and currently employed at Temple University Episcopal Hospital.
Michael has had the privilege of going to South Africa to implement a research project to the local practitioners, to empower and educate their communities about the negative impact of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
