Affectionately know as Pastor D’ – he has a practical approach to ministry, concerned with bridging the gap between our intellect and inspiration, passion and community problem solving, and the application of our faith in life between Sundays.
“Our commitment must be to grow people, bring about change in our world and inspire a culture of thinking believers.”- Pastor Madison
As a servant leader he is willing to go to any length to meet the needs of the church and God’s people. Beginning at the age of eight directing the youth choir and later in his teen years served as church organist and percussionist, Pastor Madison recognized his heart to serve in ministry. It was in his first year of college he accepted the call of God to proclaim the Gospel.
A graduate of Talladega College, he was featured in Ebony magazine (1997) in “The new generation speaks out; Student leaders discuss racism, love, sex and the black male-black female thing.” Throughout college, he continued to serve in ministry as a musician and later became minister of music.

Moreover, in ministry he has served in many capacities – organist, minister of music, chief ministry/operating officer and 1st assistant to the senior pastor.
He has traveled throughout the country helping pastors build sound infrastructures, train leadership, advance their visions and most of all share the gospel of Jesus Christ. In supplement to his ministerial experience he attended Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary.
Pastor Madison serves as a contributing writer for several publications and distributes a weekly devotional. Most recently, he published his first book release “The Empowerment Pages – 40 days of Encouragement for Empowered Living.”
