Hello, I am Bishop R.C. Hugh Nelson and I am a man of God committed to a ministry of restoration that reaches beyond the sanctuary, to uplift those most in need. I serve as senior pastor for the Church of God of East Flatbush where guidance and focus on leadership development enabled the church to evolve from a single cell church model into a vibrant Urban Ministry Center that is home to more than 1,700 members and ministers to over 2,500 on a weekly basis. I am teaching the course, "Best Practices for Innovation," that it might be helpful for your journey and your location.
