About the Pastor

Pastor Arnel John Marshall was born and raised in the Westport Community of Baltimore, MD. He is a graduate of George Washington Carver Vocational-Technical High School. Pastor Marshall accepted Christ at an early age. His first experience with God and the church was at the Ebenezer A.M.E. Church and the New Saint Paul Baptist Church.
As a teenager, Pastor Marshall strayed away from the church; ignoring God’s presence and God’s word. However, the bible declares in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” On November 13, 1994, Pastor Marshall rededicated his life to Christ and joined the Bethany Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Therm M. James, Sr.
God had begun to reveal the plans and destiny for Pastor Marshall’s life; plans that he didn’t initially accept but through much prayer he answered the call on his life. On November 10, 1999, Pastor Marshall preached his initial sermon. Pastor Marshall furthered his religious studies at the Philadelphia Bible College & Seminary where he received his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Theological Studies.
In 2015, Pastor Marshall along with Pastor Larry Martin birthed the Community Outreach Ministry. A ministry that’s determined to “win back the community one soul at a time.” In 2017, Pastor Marshall took full lead of the ministry as the Senior Pastor. Pastor Marshall has an undeniable love for people, the community and ministry. He is wholeheartedly passionate about reaching those who have not accepted Christ and those who have given up on life and church. Pastors Marshall believes that God has called him for such a time as this and that’s to do ministry in an unusual way. The Community Outreach Ministry continues to labor outside of the four walls of the church; therefore striving to make a major and significant impact on the community and the lives of people.
Pastor Marshall fervently preaches, teaches and steps outside of the normal to convey to men, women, boys and girls that God is real and a relationship with Christ makes all of the difference. He is married to Schwanna and has three children, Breana, Nasia and Shane.
