Pastor Renaldo Watkis, a senior minister of The House of the Lord Pentecostal Church, has been in ministry for the past 40+ years. Under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Herbert D. Daughtry (emeritus), he has garnered a holistic approach and understanding of what’s entailed in ministry, according to the scriptures. Leading several Bible studies in the metropolitan areas of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Pastor Watkis has encouraged and led many to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. A multi-talented individual with a number of skills and abilities, Pastor Watkis has used and continue to use the many gifts that the Lord has endowed him with for the furtherance of the gospel. However, more important to him is his devotion and commitment to the will of God. To him, the Bible is not merely something that is read, but personalized and embraced as he follows the will of God. He has been married to his wife, Sandra James- Watkis, for over 44 years, and they are the parents of two sons, Ayinde Peter James- Watkis and Andwele Andrew Watkis.
