In 2023, Senior Pastor Larry M. Trice, Jr. Installed Pastor Paul as one of two leaders to succeed him as a Pastor at the Tabernacle of David Church (TOD). He oversees the ministry’s administration, business, and community outreach and engagement initiatives. Pastor Paul joined TOD in 2005, accepted the call to ministry in 2012 and became an Associate Pastor in 2017.

 

Pastor Paul has a passion to see believers walk in the Word of God to fulfill their kingdom destiny and experience the abundant life. His ministry focuses on the total man and woman and encourages the people of God to apply Kingdom principles to all aspects of their lives.

 

Pastor Paul was born in 1972 and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Holiness was instilled in him by two spirit-filled parents, the late Deacon Herman Daniels and Missionary Brenda Daniels. In 1981, Pastor Paul accepted Christ as his Savior during a youth service at his church, Greater Love Tabernacle Church of God in Christ.

​

After graduation from Cass Technical High School, Pastor Paul joined the Army Reserve and moved to East Lansing to attend Michigan State University where he earned his bachelors and doctorate degrees in criminal justice, urban studies and family and child ecology.

 

Pastor Paul employs the same Kingdom principles in his business ventures as he does in the church and has experienced much favor from God and men. He currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer of MPHI, a Michigan-based and nationally engaged non-profit public health institute.

 

Pastor Paul has been the loving husband of Eldress Kendra Elam since 1997. Together they have six children, Tayler (Elam) Harps and husband Taylor Harps, David Elam, Kaleb Elam, Lundyn Elam, and Justyce Elam.
