Reverend Darius D. Fennell

Reverend Darius Darel Fennell is a native of Northern
Virginia, who has loved the Lord since before he could
put a sentence together clearly. He was baptized at an
early age and was an active member in the church and
helped in any way he could. Rev. Fennell grew as he
learned how to rightly divide the Word of God and how
to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Dariuss
willingness to serve has allowed him to gain extensive
training and teaching on how to serve in full capacity as
an Amour Bearer. On October 21, 2007, at the young
age of 17, Reverend Fennell was licensed to preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and later set aside for Ordination by Emmanuel Faith Network of
Churches, under the leadership of Bishop Angela Kittrell.

Currently, Reverend Fennell serves as an Associate Minister of Shiloh Baptist
Church in McLean, VA, serving in the Ministry wherever his help is needed
and his gifts can be used to glorify and edify the Kingdom of God. He also
serves as the Virginia State President of the Metropolitan Ministers Congress,
where his responsibility is to bring together in Christian unity, youthful
ministers for fellowship, empowerment, and edification.
Reverend Fennell has served as Worship Leader and guest preacher at
several churches, including Mount Calvary Word of Faith in Raleigh, NC,
under the leadership of the world-renowned gospel-recording artist Pastor
Shirley Caesar-Williams. He has also been blessed to have an up close and
personal mentorship and friendship with his uncle and Pastor, Reverend Dr.
Robert F. Cheeks, Jr., whom he admires and has been inspired by greatly.
These opportunities and relationships, among others, have afforded him the
privilege to minister across the eastern region.
Reverend Fennell has attended Justice Fellowship College of Theology,
Jacksonville, NC. He is known as a life-changing preacher of the Gospel of
Jesus the Christ, servant-leader, youth activist and motivational speaker.
God has blessed Reverend Fennell with a beautiful and anointed wife,
Jasmine S. Fennell. Together these two work together in ministry to help edify
the Kingdom of God. They are the proud parents of three wonder kids, Noelle,
Olivia, & Malachi. As he goes forth in obedience and in his quest to spread
the Good News, the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all mankind, he is determined
to hold to the plow and never to turn back!
