Bishop Melvin Robinson, Sr.
Founder

Bishop Melvin Robinson, Sr. was an appointed servant of God. In the late 1960’s the Lord called Bishop Robinson to the Washington Metropolitan area. During this time he laid the foundation for his ministry. Through his preaching many souls were won to the Lord. In 1970, Bishop Robinson founded the Master’s Child Church and pastored this church for 29 years. During his tenure, he was elevated to the General Board of Bishops and Overseer of The United Churches of Deliverance.

In addition to his church ministry, he also hosted a radio broadcast. This was another avenue that the Lord gave him to win souls to Christ. His many listeners were very familiar with these words; “This broadcast has but one outstanding purpose in life; praying for the sick, encouraging the discouraged, comforting the bereaved, restoring the backslider, winning the unsaved, strengthening the babes in Christ, teaching and preaching the Word of God and rejoicing in the God giving privilege to do so.” All the mighty acts God performed through Bishop Robinson, Sr. are too numerous to record Bishop Robinson was a man of love, not hate. He closed all church services with this question: “What did the Lord say?” and the congregation response was “With loving kindness have I drawn thee.”
