Drs. Gary & Canzada Twyman

Pastors Gary & Canzada Twyman, are a strong anointed couple, jointly knitted and placed together by the Spirit of the Living God in April of 2006.  Both have agreed to walk together in unity, harmony, and in harmony, as instruments of His Glory… ‘Partners for Life’.  This compassionate and committed husband and wife team are True Servants of the Lord.  They are the proud parents and grandparents of two adult children, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.  Both have a host of biological and spiritual siblings that continuously hovers them with love and support, and the Pastor’s firmly believe that they are gifts from God.  The couple has received their call into the office of Pastoral-ship and continues to thoroughly prepare themselves both spiritually and academically.  They both are in Love with the Lord and have made Him Lord of their lives.

Pastor Gary is the Chief Executive Officer and Pastor Canzada is the Founding Executive Director of the Divine Exchange Ministry, Inc.  God has gifted this couple with vision to move this ministry forward and to assist with the healing process to hurting people; youth, adults and families.  Pastors Gary and Canzada have received intense and profound exegetical biblical studies under the former Senior Pastors Charles and Dottie Schmitt, of the Emmanuel Church in Silver Springs, Md., where they both were installed as Pastors of the Divine Exchange Ministry, Inc.  Both Pastor Gary and Canzada received the Doctorate of Religious Philosophy and Christian Counseling from the Kingdom Leaders Seminary in Thomasville, Georgia.  They both, currently continue their studies through the most profound teachings of Apostle John Eckhart of Crusaders Church, in Chicago and Bishop Michael V. and Sheila B.

Being steadfast in their mission and understanding their purpose, the Twyman’s visualizes what is desired in relations to the community and the body of Believers, which is to embrace, edify, encourage, educate, and empower the least of these; keeping this God giving vision firmly in their mindsets.

Pastor Gary’s dictum is:  Trust in the Lord and He will direct your path!
