A profound and prolific preacher and teacher. A prophetic declarer of the call, commission and vision purposed in God would properly express the ministry of Pastor Anthony B. Wilson. This Winston-Salem, North Carolina native and son of the Pentecostal church, was reared and nurtured in holiness under his late grandfather and grandmother. It was there that Pastor Wilson demonstrated a passion for servitude and proclamation.

After many years of development and training, Pastor Wilson has been elevated through the hierarchy of the church. He began and was ordained as a deacon of the Lord’s Church in August of 1988. After faithfully serving in that capacity he received the ecclesiastical call in July1993 to the ministry of preaching and teaching the Word of God. Being found dedicated and devoted in this area of ministry, he was ordained as an Elder in August 1994 and called into the Pastorate in 1997.

In October of 1997, Pastor Wilson established The Cathedral of Refuge Church of Deliverance, Inc., where the hand and favor of God rested upon the ministry, promoting spiritual growth through the saints of God, both young and old. Pastor Wilson understands that we are living in a time where humanity is hurting and the only way for us to achieve a healing is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has a powerful message of healing and deliverance that ministers to the “total man” in that ministry can’t be housed just within the four walls of the sanctuary, but must minister to our financial, economical, social, and physical needs.

Pastor Wilson is a living example of God’s power to deliver, heal and restore. He is a man dedicated to loving God and the people of God. He remains a humble man and has made the Lord the center of his life. His assignment is clear, to compel, to prepare, and to promote through the elements of prayer and praise. Pastor Wilson is a holistic man and not only is he well known in the church arena, but in the community as well. He is a mentor for young boys and a father figure to young girls. He is happily joined in holy matrimony to Pastor Rita Sutton Wilson and is the proud father of four beautiful daughters and three grandchildren.

Pastor Rita Sutton Wilson is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina and a bona fide PK (preacher’s kid). Born and raised in her father’s Baptist church, Pastor Rita was handpicked by God from the womb and destined for fivefold ministry. She is a Psalmists, prophetess, evangelist, pastor, and teacher, and is very instrumental in this earth for such a time as this.

After graduating from the prestigious Winston-Salem State University with Bachelor Degrees in English Literature, Mass Communications and a minor in Public Speaking, she began teaching in the public school setting where young lives were changed. She continued in her passion of administering instruction to adults on the collegiate level.

She is a highly anointed woman of God who loves God’s people and is anointed to serve God’s people.

Pastor Rita Sutton Wilson is a woman of character and class with a distinct commission from the Lord. She is a distinguished woman of God that has separated herself unto the Lord in praise, worship, song, prophecy, and her ability to rightly divide the Word of God. She believes and shares in the same word as the prophet Isaiah, “And it shall come to pass in the day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Pastor Rita is a loving and supportive helpmate to her groom, Pastor Anthony B.
