Bishop, Doctor Richard J. Stockton, III heard the Lord say, “Go out and preach to a dying generation”. It was a calling on his life to start preaching the Word of God at the age of 19. Following this calling, he became the Youth Leader and an ordained Assistant National Evangelist at the Greater Holy Tabernacle Church, and faithfully served in several other ministries there. Shortly thereafter, he became an esteemed graduate of the Manhattan Bible Institute in New York City. While diligently serving many years in ministry, the Lord then called him to establish Greater Anointing Tabernacle, Inc. In faithfully serving as the Senior Pastor of this ministry, the Lord elevated him to the office of a Bishop. Greater Anointing Tabernacle Network of Churches are currently located in the Pennsylvania regions of Allentown and Wilkes-Barre, in the New York region of Brooklyn, in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.

 

Bishop, Doctor Stockton is a fourth generational preacher and a well sought after speaker who ministers the sound and unadulterated Word of God with dynamic authority. Like a mighty rushing wind, his powerful presentation of the Gospel has enabled him to minister to many denominations and organizations. As a result, countless people have been delivered and healed miraculously. Through his unyielding passion for spreading the liberating Word of God, scores of people have given their lives to Christ and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit at Greater Anointing Tabernacle and beyond in revivals, conferences, and seminars.

As a man of profound faith, Bishop, Doctor Stockton continues to walk in truth, integrity, and humility as he continues to operate in the ministry of deliverance and restoration.
