Robert Edwards

Interim Head Pastor, Executive Pastor, Ministry Operations

Pastor Robert G. Edwards, II is a native of Houston, Texas, where his faith journey began at the young age of seven, when he accepted Christ while watching a film about Jesus. He has since dedicated his life to serving the Lord and sharing the Gospel. Robert has been married to his beloved wife, Temia Dawn, since December 10, 2005, and together they are the proud parents of two children, Jude Michael and Gabrielle Simone.

Pastor Edwards’ academic achievements reflect his commitment to deepening his theological understanding. He holds an Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree in Bible and Theology and Christian Leadership from the College of Biblical Studies-Houston. He also earned a Master’s in Theology, with specializations in New Testament and Historical Theology, from Dallas Theological Seminary. Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in Christian Preaching at Anderson University (SC).

With a public Christian preaching ministry that began at the age of 17, Pastor Edwards has served in various capacities, including Interim Pastor in Houston and Director of Christian Education for a 3,500-member ministry in Decatur, GA. Most notably, he revitalized Mount Gilead Church in Atlanta, GA, during his eight-year tenure as Senior Pastor.

Pastor Edwards believes every human is created in the image of God (Imago Dei) and is worthy of respect and love. His core ministry conviction is that true fulfillment comes only through a relationship with the Triune God, revealed in Jesus Christ.
