About Barry
- I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan.
- Since I was 19 years old, I eventually became the manager or the owner of whatever company I worked for.
- After feeling like something was missing in my life, I started attending the Church of the Messiah.
- I started as a volunteer tutor at the church’s after-school program, then Sunday school teacher, then youth director, and eventually the worship leader.
- In 1994, I was approached by the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan about being ordained and began the process of becoming an Episcopal priest.
- I became the priest and pastor of Church of the Messiah in 2002.
- As priest and pastor, I uphold the vision of our mission to lift people out of poverty.
- I’m also the executive director of BLVD Harambee, the social services arm of Church of the Messiah, which helps foster life skills and resources for the holistic development of our youth.
