Pastor Kier Hedgley has served faithfully as the Senior Pastor of the Ark of Love and Faith Discipleship Ministry (ALFDM) for over 16 years.
Now based in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, ALFDM is a ministry devoted to spiritual growth, discipleship, evangelism, and fellowship within the body of Christ.
He is a spiritual son of Apostle Michael and Dr. Delores Freeman of Faith City Central (FCC) in Brandywine, Maryland, and a proud partner of The Fellowship, formerly known as FICWFM.
Pastor Kier's heart beats for helping others experience true transformation through Jesus Christ. ALFDM's mission is clear:
"We measure the success of our ministry by the evidence of the changed and transformed life through Christ Jesus."
Through Perfecting and Discipleship Classes, he equips believers with the spiritual tools they need to grow in their walk with Christ.
His passion for empowering others began over 20 years ago with a men's ministry dedicated to helping men build stronger relationships with God.
That vision lives on through the Men of Valor Men's Group, a powerful ministry that encourages men to become godly leaders, while overcoming struggles with addiction, violence, and brokenness.
Pastor Kier continues to walk boldly alongside born again believers and other in the body of Christ, helping them embrace their God-given identity and purpose is rooted in Galatians 2:20 (AMP), as Pastor Kier believes in the power of full restoration in Christ:
"I have been crucified with Christ... it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me..."
This scripture is both his personal foundation and the heart of the ministry. His message remains simple but powerful because as believers,
"We must learn to exchange our life for a new life in Christ Jesus."
Pastor Kier N Hedgley is also holds State, National and International Certification as a Certified Marriage, Men, Life, and Recovery Coach, Certified Peer Support Specialist, Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, Certified Christian Counselor, and is an Ambassador of Mentorship from The United Movement Institute School of Ministry.
