THE GOSPEL

The grace to declare God’s word was provided Dallas on July 24^th, 2012 when he was given the opportunity to deliver the Word at Paradise Baptist Church in San Francisco, under the leadership of Reverend Lawrence Hart, Pastor.

It was not until 2016 when God moved Dallas to First Missionary Baptist Church in Marin City, California, under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Rondall Leggett that he publicly acknowledged his call to preach and do the work of his Lord and Savior.  Dallas affirmed his call to the ministry when he preached his first sermon Saturday, July 29, 2017.  Minister Dallas served as the Youth Minister of First Missionary in Marin city  for a few years.

With a passion to see teenagers and young adults grow in their relationship with God and truly grasp what it means to be a Christ –follower, he worked with youth in the church & faith based organizations in many capacities. Excited for the Lord he brought that passion to Calvary Hill Community Church and now serves as Youth & Young Adult Minister, underneath the leadership of Rev. Dr. Joseph Bryant, Jr. 

Min. Dallas  seeks to bridge the digital divide amongst churches and faith based organizations.  Working with Dr. Bryant he facilitates technology trainings, summits, connectivity seminars across the nation for Rainbow P.U.S.H. Coalition. 

Min. Dallas has spent the last three years working with student athletes helping them  mature in their faith and  to go from believers to disciples. 

    One of Dallas’ goals is to encourage youth in the church to pursue Christ and love him more. It is his aim to strengthen their faith and encourage them to live in such a way to bring glory to God. His vision is to see young people not just “surviving” their teenage years but “thriving” through living out their full potential in God.

A personable and humble man, Minister Phinsee, has been honored to share in ministry across the San Francisco Bay Area.  He is currently moving forward with his efforts to minister to multiple generations and conducting impactful ministry to people from all socioeconomic classes.
