HARRELL HENTON

Minister Harrell Henton has been working for the Lord for as long as he can remember. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Robert Holt Sr. he has made the grand decision to dedicate his full life to the work of the Lord and His church. He is a graduate of Miami Carol City Senior High school and after finishing there, he matriculated to Florida Memorial College, where studied Communications. Beginning his path toward the work of the church, he became a Christian, being baptized into the body of Christ, on January 10, 1993, at the tender age of 9.

From there, continuing to spend time with his grandfather and mentor, Robert Holt Sr., he began to learn an abundance of the Word of God, words of wisdom, and just in general becoming a man. Little did he know at the time, that he was being groomed to one day take over the Ministry of the Brownsville Church of Christ. In August of 2011, Harrell, was handed the torch in the delivery of God’s word. He was installed as the full time Minister of the Brownsville Church of Christ on the 22 nd day of August. From there, he decided to make it his mission to continue to build the Brownsville congregation as a loving and family oriented church.

​With the support and encouragement of his family and membership, he has began to build this church, increasing membership, creating more programs and strengthening the programs already in existence. As a young man leading a great church, many times it can be difficult, but Minister Henton understands that success does not come without hard work, but he knows that with God all things are possible! Brother Henton is married to a wonderful helpmeet, Kellee, and they have two beautiful kids, Kaleah, and Harrison. With a full time position as a Chaplain, and a full time Ministry, Bro. Henton has his plate full. But he is up for the challenge, and having a close relationship with the Lord and living by the Word of God, he knows that he will be blessed, no matter what the situation is.

Bro. Henton’s encouragement to many, and one of his favorite scriptures, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge him and He shall direct thy path (Proverbs 3:5-6). To the youth, remember the race is not given to the swift or the strong, but to those that endure until the end.
