Apostle William Harrell, Jr.
St. James Community Full Gospel Church (Harlem, NY)
As a teenager, Chief Apostle William R. Harrell, Jr. struggled with alcoholism and drug abuse — but God had other plans. Upon moving to New York from North Carolina, God’s plans began to manifest in his life. Shortly after his conversion, the Lord called him into the ministry and he was subsequently ordained as an elder in 1980. God then called him into evangelistic ministry. With the gift of bridging denominational gaps, this charismatic yet humble man of God served as the senior pastor of St. James Community Full Gospel Church in Harlem, NY. He passed away on April 17 at the age of 63.
