Senior Pastor Bishop Dr. Haywood Parker

Pastor

This May marks the 45th year of ministry under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Haywood L. Parker, a distinguished, dynamic, and disciplined visionary who serves as the Senior Pastor of Truth Tabernacle Ministries in Rocky Mount, NC. For the past 45 years, his extraordinary guidance has deeply impacted both the city of Rocky Mount and the broader Eastern North Carolina region. Through steadfast faith and a remarkable vision, the ministry has grown to occupy and fully finance three facilities, culminating in the worship of God in an impressive tabernacle at the heart of the community it serves. Dr. Parker is anointed and regarded as a trusted voice of God, whose leadership continues to shape the church and its mission.

A compassionate pastor, Dr. Parker deeply cares for his congregation and the surrounding community. His contributions were recognized by the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce with the 2021 Distinguished Citizen Award. As the son of a devoted prayer warrior and intercessor, Dr. Parker’s passion revolves around prayer and studying the scriptures.

Truth Tabernacle Ministries is affiliated with the Mt. Calvary Holy Churches of America (MCHCA), led by Presiding Prelate Bishop Marc D. Talbert. Within MCHCA, Bishop Parker holds significant roles as First Vice-Presiding Bishop and NC Coastal District Jurisdictional Bishop. Renowned as a prominent, prophetic, and prolific church leader, Dr. Parker’s academic achievements are equally impressive. He holds a B.S. in Mathematics Education from N.C. State University, a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Education from N.C. State University. His postdoctoral work was completed at Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA.

Dr. Parker’s community involvement is extensive. He has served as an Adjunct Professor of Religion at N.C. Wesleyan College, an Advisory Board member of the Joint College of African American Bishops (chairing its Scholarship Committee), and on the board of the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce. He has also presided over several local civic and non-profit organizations, including the United Way and the Down East Partnership for Children.

Happily married to Dr. Wanda Frazier-Parker, his beloved wife and Co-Pastor at Truth Tabernacle Ministries, they form a formidable leadership team. United in spirit, mighty in power, unshakeable in faith, and aligned in purpose and vision, the Parkers have mentored numerous spiritual sons and daughters, empowering them to fulfill their Kingdom assignments. Dr. Parker is a devoted father to two daughters, Shelayna and Stephanie, whom he cherishes deeply. He is also blessed with a son-in-law, Rashad, and two treasured grandsons, Malcolm and Samuel.
