Pastor Leo Colon
Pastor Leo Colon was born in Brooklyn , New
York, in 1966. His parents raised him with a
love for family, music, and a love for the
things of God. With these principles firmly
instilled, Pastor Colon grew to learn about a
great many things from his parents. His
brother and he would start to study music at
an early age, which gave them an opportunity
to travel a great deal. While away in college
Pastor Colon recommitted his life to the LORD
during a bible study group at Temple
University, in Philadelphia, at the age of 19.
This started Pastor Colon on a quest to get
closer to God, and serve him with vigor. This
search led him to find a church home, and led
him to Elim International Fellowship, and
Bishop Wilbert McKinley. It was here where
the LORD allowed him to study scripture, and
sit at the Bishop’s feet. At Elim he was
confirmed an Assistant Pastor, then later in
2000, ordained an Associate Pastor. It was also
here where the LORD blessed him, and gave
him his wife, Dorothy.?At Elim, the LORD impressed on Bishop McKinley, to send Leo and Dorothy, on an Evangelistic endeavor that lasted four and one-half years. They would visit small churches in the New York metropolitan area, every Sunday, not knowing which church they would end up in from one Sunday to the next. It was one of the most rewarding, learning experiences that a young preacher could go through. They functioned in whatever capacity was necessary from Sunday to Sunday.The LORD gave Pastor a passion to teach the word of God, with simplicity and understanding. His unique way of teaching God’s word, brings clarity, and understanding to those who hear it. So pastor started In His Presence family Worship Center, in New York City. At IHP we worship the LORD, Jesus Christ, and are led by the Holy Spirit to teach God’s word with understanding, so that we can apply the truth of God to our every day life.Feel free to contact Pastor Leo Colon at [email protected].
