Statement of Purpose

Elder Roscoe Owens is a teacher, trainer, orator, ordained Minister and affirmed Servant for the

Kingdom of God. My area of expertise is Evangelism while encountering Spiritual Warfare in

which I have over 20 years of experience. I have traveled and ministered with other men and

women of God in preparing the Body of Christ in truly understanding Organizational Leadership,

Spiritual Warfare and how to be effective in faith and family as Christ has mandated.

Also, I have a relationship with the community to mesh the two together in building an

effective community and is not only concerned with the Kingdom of God but the salvation of the

unsaved as well. I have not only been active in church but as a loan officer in a local group,

United Way. I believe that ignorance is a tool and weapon the enemy of our salvation uses to

keep us divided as a Kingdom. When we as Christians demonstrates unity, “the gates of hell

shall not prevail.”

credentials from the. Your program will be sufficient for enlighten, while homing in, on my

abilities in ministry, and project a positive image. For those church members seeking knowledge,

accomplishments in theological or religious skills, it will also broaden my skills in those

finance, stewardship, human resources, and operations. The enhanced skills for managers in

social media, inbound marketing as well the executive assistant to the pastor.

As a sixty-five-year-old scholar, educator, and minister, it gives me the assurance of

accomplishment with the process of higher learning from some of the most dynamic professors

ministry professionals in the Liberty University School of Divinity, such as Dr. Elmer L. Towns,

Dr. Harold Willmington, and Dr. Gary R. Habermas, which those will teach practical ministry

while imparting deep theological views.
