Pastor Anthony was born in 1985 in Meridian, Mississippi. His love and passion for the Word led him to feel called to be a shepherd of God's people.

After attending Texas Bible college 2005-2006 he met his wife Shawna Allen in 2006 in Tucson, Arizona and married in 2009. They have 2 beautiful children – Buxton and Brooklynn. 

Anthony and Shawna served as Assistant Pastors for 19 years leading and developing church leadership in their church in Tucson. During their time they involved themselves in many other aspects of the church, also serving as Youth Pastor, School Director, Bus Ministry team, Media team, and extra Biblical studies classes.

In 2023 they moved to Payson, Arizona to plant an Apostolic Pentecostal church. Pastor Anthony and Shawna believe in the power of connection. Connection to community where everyone is empowered and equipped to minister inside and outside the church building- becoming the church like that of the Apostles of Jesus.
