ABOUT OUR PASTOR
Pastor Criss is the appointed CEO (Christ Elected Officer) and Senior Pastor of Church For All Nations. Pastor Criss walks under the anointing God has deposited in his spirit. The authority God has placed in his life causes dead things to receive life, crooked places made straight and an overflowing of refreshing waters to dry places.
​
Colley W. Criss was born and raised in the ghettos of New York by his mother, who also is a minister of the gospel and serves as Elder at Church For All Nations. Pastor Criss had a very stringent upbringing in church and at the early age of 5 years old declared he would some day be a preacher. However, his life took a tragic turn when at the age of 7 he was sexually molested by a female cousin. This violation marked Pastor Criss and his life started to spiral out of control. Along with sexual promiscuity he found himself involved with gang violence and substance abuse. The hand of God was ever present in Pastor Criss’ life because his mother was a fervent prayer warrior.
​
Pastor Criss graduated from High School and continued his education at South Carolina State University and Sacred Heart University. Pastor Criss has a successful career as a tax accountant and has worked with some of the top Fortune 500 companies such as Price Waterhouse Cooper, GE Capital and Pepsi Co.
​
Pastor Criss lives by the verse in Lamentations 3:22.23″It is of the Lord’s mercy that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not, they are new every morning: Great is Your Faithfulness.” It is now that The Kingdom of God has released another powerful warrior into the earth to tear down the enemy’s territory. As did Apostle Peter, Apostle Paul, Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, William J. Seymour, Pastor Criss is determined to fulfill the destiny God has for his life.
