NASSAU, BAHAMAS – For years he has shepherded, countless congregants at Mt. Tabor Church. Now, Bishop Neil Ellis is taking a step back.
After nearly four decades in ministry, Bishop Neil Ellis is stepping down from frontline ministry.
But according to Ellis, the road to the mega church in Pinewood Gardens and an international fellowship with over 1500 churches in 43 countries, wasn’t an easy one.
While appearing on Our TV’s On the Record with host Jerome Sawyer, Ellis recalls when he was first urged to go into ministry full-time back in 1987.
This dream from him and his wife gave birth to Mt. Tabour Church, now the church is home to hundreds of people.
A year and a half into pastoring and working at Chicken Unlimited, the decision came to go full-fledged into ministry.
This meant leaving his cushiony $80,000 salary job, just as he bought a new home.
He says the walk of faith also came with the mandate to do things differently.
He says the name came from American Pastor Bishop Paul Morton.
But, the couple came under fire for its revolutionary way of doing ministry for 86 consecutive weeks.
Now, Ellis says he’s seeing the fruit of his labour as for what’s next for him.
