About Us

                   Bishop Maurice S. Keller, B.A.

Bishop Maurice Keller received his call to the preaching ministry in 1992; at the age of seventeen.  He was licensed to minister in 1993.   In 1998, he was called to the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church where he served as Senior Pastor for fourteen years.

Bishop Keller is a graduate of Vincent High School.  He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Bible & Pastoral Ministry from the Historic Selma University in Selma, Alabama.  He is also a graduate of the Northeast Law Enforcement Academy in Jacksonville, Alabama.  He attended Morehouse School of Religion at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Bishop Maurice Keller is a servant leader, a man after Gods own heart. He is the pastor and founder of Greater New Destiny Christian Church (GNDCC), Pell City, Alabama. Since the birth of GNDCC in August of 2012 the ministry has experienced favor and growth.

The goals of ministry in which he places in the forefront of mission are that of discipleship and developing the mindsets of people who desire to grow spiritually and in other aspects of  the Christian faith.  It is also fair to say that Bishop Keller continually strives to grow beyond the traditions of men.  He has come to understand that it is certainly important not to put God in a box.  This is the thrust of ministry in which invites others of like faith to grow beyond places of their past.  Lastly, but certainly not the least of things, pure worship unto the Lord is what brings renewal, restoration, and revival to Greater New Destiny Christian Church in which he pastors.

Bishop Keller is an anointed and spirit-filled, preacher/visionary/teacher/encourager with a bold, yet practical preaching style that encourages the discouraged, evangelizes the lost, and empowers the body of Christ. He is humbly submitted to the Apostolic leadership of Dr. Wales Williams Jr. of The Harvest Place Christian Church, Columbiana, Alabama.

Bishop Keller is a duly consecrated Bishop within the parameters of Timothy’s House International Fellowship where he serves as the Bishop of Executive Order. 

Bishop Keller is happily married to his wife of 14 years Shulanda Threatt Keller and together they have four beautiful daughters: Demetria, Kendall, Katelyn, and Kyra.
