Dr. Kenyatta Arnette is a passionate preacher and servant of God who has dedicated his life to the work of Christian ministry and service. Dr. Arnette was consecrated by an independent College of Bishops representing various reformations to serve as an Independent Bishop in the Lord's Church, and he, now, serves as the Founder and Senior Servant Leader of the GRACE UNITED FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES, INC. Grace United Fellowship provides spiritual covering and support for independent Christian ministries, educational training for ministry leaders, and community involvement and outreach programs. 

After being ordained in the AME Church and serving as an AME pastor, Dr. Arnette embarked upon a new spiritual journey which has led to the development of the Revival Temple Christian Minisitries, Inc. (RTCM) in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009. Revival Temple became an impactful and positive community oriented ministry in the Atlanta metropolitan area, until the ministry was relocated to New Jersey. RTCM continues to serve the people of God in South Jersey, now under the pastoral leadership of his mother, Rev. Carma Arnette. Dr. Arnette has also served as a Chaplain in the US Air Force Reserves, making the rank of Captain. He is a professional educator, a member of the Atlanta Masonic Choir, the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses, and the Gospel Music Workshop of America.

As an educator, Dr. Arnette is a veracious lifelong learner and an advocate for education. He is a graduate of Burlington County College (A.S.), Rutgers University School of Business (B.S.), the Interdenominational Theological Center (M.Div.), Western Governors University (M.B.A.), and Capella University (Ph.D.). He consistently advocates for effective learning particularly among African American males and youth in all communities of color. 

Dr. Arnette has a heart for Christian ministry that serves the people of God from the heart. Ministry must be birthed and lived through the lenses of compassionate witness, empathetic service, and spirituality with the purpose of building and maintaining spiritual relationships. He is an avid proponent for kingdom building and doing kingdom work.  Dr. Arnette has been in various community outreach and education efforts within include HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention education, community building, financial and legacy planning, senior care, as well as general health wellness advocacy. He maintains that one's character is critical in achieving and maintaining success in ministry and that we, as the body of Christ, must be accountable to ourselves, to our ministries and to those whom we are called to serve, and to God who has called us into this awesome work.  It is his belief that our faith is demonstrated through the work that we do in building the Kingdom of God. 

Dr. Arnette loves the Lord and loves to serve the Lord. He is an anointed, visionary, and Spirit-filled leader who enjoys singing, preaching, teaching, and spreading the gospel message. His ministry is rooted in the theology of liberation with the understanding that Christ came into the world and died liberating us from injustice and oppression so that all may be redeemed, justified, and saved through faith regardless of our gender, race, orientation, ethnicity, and status. He embrace this truth that we have been called and commissioned to serve the world under one guiding principle which is the Law of Divine Love for all people (1 John 3).  

His message to you is simply: "I have a message from the Lord, Hallelujah!  The message  unto you I'll give; it is recorded in God's Word, Hallelujah!  It is only  that you "Look , LOVE, and Live." 
He is the epitome of a man after God's own heart. He is a leader, a realist, and a lover of the most high God! Pastor Arnette meets you right where you are with open arms and an open heart and is beyond funny. Often times pastors and leaders forget that it is OK to laugh and have fun.
I love you Dr. Arnette!!

This man surely is an example of how good God is and definitely is a man who governs his life to be an example of just that. He has not just been an awesome pastor but he is also a awesome worshiper, teacher, mentor, friend, leader, and much much more. He is a man who does not out himself in position for people to place him on a platform to be praised before God but encourage people to love and seek God for themselves.

He's truly a man after God's own heart, even in the face of the many obstacles, he continues to be faithful to the mission and the ministry that God has entrusted him with, he remains humble and touchable to whosoever may need him.  He is an awesome preacher and teacher of the word and he does not set himself above his congregation to be more than who and what he is.
He is indeed a man set apart by God.
~Pastor. C. Arnette~
