Vision that inspired the vision

Boasting itself neither to be the ministry nor the ultimate ministry, Greater Faith Deliverance Ministries (GFDM) is an umbrella organization that supports and develops the individual ministries of which it is comprised. Thus, GFDM is simply a headquarters or centralized locus from which ministries are birthed, promoted, and developed.

“As I was driving to Sunday School from the Stroehmann Bakery on I-76, the voice of the Lord just put Greater Faith Deliverance Ministries in my spirit. Everything else has just been a fulfillment of that vision.” said Minister William Blagmon.

The vision is actually a very visual one. It is the vision first of the present condition of a multiplied millions of souls – men, women, boys, and girls trapped in desperate and apparently inescapable captivity. It is the realization of this truth that, in fact, propels the vision. To see the tangibility of this facet of the vision, all one has to do is briefly peruse the morning paper, glance over the news show, or perhaps even walk around his own community.

In its original state, as imparted to Minister Blagmon, the people were in literal chains – some longer than others. So some people actually, because they still had a degree of mobility knew not that they were bound. Others were struggling desperately; but hopelessly. All efforts seemed to be futile. All I could think was that it was a situation that I had seen much too many times.

Our Pastor

Elder William A. Blagmon, Sr. is the founding pastor of Greater Faith Deliverance Ministries, Inc. – an entity dedicated to prayer, evangelism, and discipleship within a modern-day context without compromising the integrity of the first century message as taught by the apostles.

Firmly grounded in the holiness tradition by his great-grandfather the late Bishop E. T. Jennings, Elder Blagmon is an uncompromising messenger of truth – unmoved by fortune, fame, status, or position. He is acclaimed as a gifted teacher with a unique ability to communicate complex scriptural truths with clarity and simplicity. His messages are thoughtful and provocative. His delivery is practical and balanced – transcending denominational, socioeconomic, and ethnic boundaries.

Recognized as a White-Williams Scholar at Central High School (from which he received his first B.A. degree), a Lambert Foundation Scholar at Temple University (from which he received his B.A. in psychology and at which he was inducted into the Psi Chi National Honor Society), and a Frederick Douglass Scholar at West Chester University (from which he received his M.A. in industrial/organizational psychology); Elder Blagmon’s quest for the acquisition and utilization of knowledge has yielded him many honors and accolades too numerous to list.

As a corporate citizen, he has been a member of numerous professional organizations including the Society for Human Resource Management, Staffing.Org, and the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychologists.

In addition, he has served as interim-pastor for Straightway Evangelistic Church, chaplain for numerous religious and community-based organizations, and is often called upon to provide consultative and advisory services to pastors and leaders in the US and abroad.

He was united in holy matrimony to Lady Nikkol (Tabron) Blagmon in 1997 and to this union the Lord added two children: Khadijah and William, II.
