Pastor Hamilton And First Lady Rita

Pastor Kevin Hamilton

Pastor Kevin Hamilton, a native of Cleveland Ohio, born in Indianapolis IN, but raised in Cleveland. Kevin was raised by his mother and father Brown Hamilton and Annie Hamilton. Educated in Cleveland Public school system. As a young boy, Kevin’s parents raised him and his siblings in the church. Kevin was raised in the COGIC church, but Kevin decided as a teenager that he wanted to go a different route. Kevin then became an alcoholic after his mother passed away when he was eighteen. He somewhat lost his way in life and became addicted to drugs as well as the alcohol which led him to a life of struggling to survive.

This life in turn caused him to have to go to prison. In 1998 for five years. While locked up in the county jail in Cleveland waiting on his sentencing, he gave his life to God. Ever since that day he has been a warrior for God. He is not ashamed of the gospel; he is not ashamed of his testimony of how God saw him through those 5 years. Because, he was facing 70 years, but God touched the judge and he said, “I don’t know why I am doing this” and he reduced it from 70 to 5! (5 represents Grace!)

Once out of prison, Pastor Kevin became a member of Living Waters Church of God, under the leadership of Bishop Tom Owens, where he currently serves as Asst. Pastor. Kevin was ordained in 2012. Pastor Kevin works at the City Mission helping men who are homeless and in need of a new start in life. He also is the President and CEO of Emmanuel Promise of Hope Inc. Which is a men’s transitional housing ministry (501c3) where we house up to seventeen men in three houses and help give them an opportunity to live sober and the opportunity to get back on their feet after life has thrown them some challenges. In 2019, Pastor Kevin met Evang. Rita, and in 2020, they married and now they work hand in hand in the ministry. Outreach is their passion and advancing the Kingdom of God is our goal. Winning souls to Christ is our mission! Jeremiah 29:11 NIV- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
