Harrell L. Henton

Minister Harrell L. Henton has been working for the Lord for as long as he can remember. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Robert Holt Sr., he has made the grand decision to dedicate his full life to the work of the Lord and His church. Born on July 6, 1983, he is the third of four children born to Leroy and Hester Henton. He is a graduate of Miami Carol City Senior High and after finishing there, he matriculated to Florida Memorial University, where he studied Communications.

Beginning his path toward the work of the church, Harrell became a Christian, after being baptized into the body of Christ, on January 10, 1993, at the tender age of 9. From there, Harrell continued to spend time with his grandfather and mentor, Robert Holt Sr., a minister of a small, robust congregation in Miami, Florida. Harrell began to learn an abundance about the word of God, words of wisdom, and just in general learning more about becoming a man. Little did he know at the time that he was being groomed to one day take over the ministry of the Brownsville Church of Christ. In August of 2011, Harrell, was handed the torch to deliver God’s word. He was installed as the full time minister of the Brownsville Church of Christ on August 22, 2011. From there, he decided to make it his mission to continue to build the Brownsville congregation as a loving and family oriented church. With the support and encouragement of his family and membership, he has begun to build this church, increasing membership, creating more programs, and strengthening the programs already in existence. As a young man leading a great church, many times it can be difficult, but Minister Henton understands that success does not come without hard work, but he knows that with God all things are possible!
