Walter Fisher is the youngest of 10 children. He was raised in a house of holiness under the leadership and guidance of his mother, Missionary Adell Fisher, and father, Minister Micklos Fisher. It was in his home that he developed a relationship with God by watching his parents’ example.
Brother Fisher was born into the church Family of Tried Way of the Cross Church of Christ under the leadership of the late Bishop Ben C. Cannady. Brother Walter received the gift of the Holy Ghost one Sunday evening in June 2004 in a service in Richmond, VA. He later joined the City of Refuge Way of the Cross Church of Christ under the leadership of then-Elder Travell Travis.
Walter met the love of his life( Cierra Fisher) in 2011 and they got married in 2015 and now they have three beautiful daughters, Hollie, Autumn, and Jordyn Fisher.
Walter felt God wanted more from him. He wanted him to move to another level. He also wanted to be of assistance to his pastor, Bishop Travis. As a result, in 2019, he was ordained as a Deacon at the Virginia Diocese Meeting.
After years of dedicated service to God and the City of Refuge Way of the Cross Church, Deacon Fisher heard the voice of God calling him to preach His word. Walter’s mission from God is to be a lamplighter in the body of Christ! To help ignite the flames of Godly wisdom through Preaching and Teaching the word of God!
So many are walking in the dark but the word of God is a light that can’t be blown out! Standing steadfast on the word of God Walter preached his initial Sermon on Sunday May 5th 2024 and is continuing to press forward toward the mark that God has called him to!
Minister Bradley Anderson
@lifeis_whatyou_makeit
Bradley Anderson was born on August 28, 1996, and raised by his loving parents, Pastor Ricky and Mother Alice Anderson, as the only son and youngest of five children. He received the holy ghost at the early age of 13 in 2010. His spiritual foundation was built at Tried Way of the Cross Church under the leadership of Bishop Ben C. Cannady, where he was instilled with faith, discipline, and a heart for God. Bradley graduated from high school in June 2014 and began his professional career in public service.
In 2015, he became a corrections officer, and by 2017, he was working as an executive protection officer for a former U.S. Senator. His commitment to safety and leadership led him to law enforcement in 2018, where he now serves as a Deputy and Chaplain with the Fredericksburg Sheriff's Office and NOBLE (National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives) for the Greater Rappahannock Region. Bradley has dedicated himself to specialized training and instruction, all while preparing to be certified as a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Instructor. His passion for mental health advocacy has led him to become a stakeholder for mental health in Fredericksburg City and a mental health advocate for the Fredericksburg Sheriff's Office, ensuring that both offices and the community receive the support they need.
At the age of 23, Bradley married his lovely wife, Breanna in March of 2020, and together they are raising their three boys in a household centered on faith, love, and service. In 2021, Bradley and his family became a member of City of Refuge WOTCC, continuing his journey of spiritual growth and dedication to God's work. In November 2023, Bradley experienced a life-changing call to ministry. Though he never envisioned himself in ministry, the call was undeniable and unforgettable. Initially, he struggled with self-doubt, feeling unprepared for such a calling. However, in that moment of uncertainty, God spoke to him, saying: "That's why I gave you my word to study and show yourself approved. That’s not the only reason why I’m calling you; I’m calling you because I have given you, my anointing. It is my anointing that destroys the yoke, and it is my anointing that saves souls. Don’t worry about everyone else, because I called you to this."
From that moment forward, Bradley embraced his calling with faith and obedience, dedicating himself to the work of the Lord. His ministry is rooted in the belief that true transformation comes through God’s anointing, and he strives to be a vessel for God's power, healing, and salvation.
Bradley holds fast to the lesson his father taught him: "The works you do will speak for you." This principle, along with his favorite scripture, Deuteronomy 31:6—"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."—serves as the foundation of his life, ministry, and service. Through dedication to God's calling and service to his community, Bradley Anderson continues to walk boldly in faith, spreading the gospel, uplifting others, and fulfilling the divine purpose placed upon his life.
