BIOGRAPHY
Apostle Leon M. Emerson

Apostle Leon M. Emerson is the founding Pastor of Now Faith Christian Center Church (NFCCC) in Denver, Colorado. This dynamic Pastor, Prophet and Teacher attended Wilberforce University and holds a bachelor of Biblical Studies in Christian Education and an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Family Bible Institute.

Although Apostle Emerson was ordained into the ministry at the age of 24, it was not until January 1983 that Leon Emerson and his wife Yvonne Emerson (Co-Pastor) took the charge to found NFCCC. In a short time, his fresh inspiring messages have transcended racial lines and draw a large and growing integrated congregation. He has been mandated by God to preach faith back into the hearts of the people and he does so by shepherding with care, excellence and example.

Through his leadership, NFCCC has instituted and developed numerous programs/ministries designed to meet the needs of the entire family. The Rocky Mountain News writes, “Pastor Emerson’s baritone voice stirs the crowd with God’s truth and charismatic presence making him one of Denver’s best known civic figures, linking the circle of church, neighborhood and politics.”

Apostle Emerson has been deemed with several accolades and awards. He has tremendous concern for awaking men and challenging them to assume the responsibility as priest of their homes and dispel misconceptions that others place on them.

In addition to pastoring the ever-growing congregation at Now Faith Christian Center Church, Apostle Emerson travels throughout the country delivering the spirit lifting, life changing word of God. He also hosts the weekly radio and television broadcast “The Excellent Name of Jesus Ministry", is the CEO of Colorado Council for Urban Youth Development (non-profit community oriented organization, established to promote unity through outreach, education and creative alternative programming for at risk youth), and President of the Board for Coulors Television Network. He has served two consecutive terms as president of the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance (GMDMA), which represents over 60 churches in the Metro Denver and Colorado Springs areas.

Apostle Leon M. Emerson has been married to Yvonne Emerson for 28 years and has four daughters.
