our Story

Pastor Tanks and DD Tanks (LISW-S) have been married for nine years. They have five children. With Pastor Tanks heart for the community and with DD Tanks background in social work, they became the perfect option for new work to be birthed in the heart of the city of Cleveland. They carry both the burden for the community and believe that the best way to affect change is not simply reaching in but reaching from within. In them, are two leaders who have no problem sacrificing and serving people and the community. Pastor Tanks host two degrees: B.A. in Religion and a M.A. in Christian Apologetics. He is currently working on his Ph.D. in Bible Exposition. DD Tanks host three degrees: B.A. in Creative Writing, M.A. in Social Work, and M.A. in Pastoral Counseling.
