John (Tony) Vick

Accomplished Senior Pastor at Soul Harvest Church of God, adept in pastoral care team building and public relations, significantly enhanced spiritual growth and increased membership by 10%. Demonstrated exceptional leadership in community service and counseling, fostering strong relationships within and beyond the congregation.

At Soul Harvest in the past 5-years, we started with 4 standing members and $2,000 in the bank. People started coming and sowing into the vision and God begin to bless us immediately with the finances to do a complete remodel of the Church inside and out, within the first year after a $20,000 remodel we still had $20,000 in the bank. In our first year we took in 17 new members adding around 10 new member a year. Today we run 45 to 50 every Sunday with only 70 seats in the sanctuary. The Vision is to "WIN" Win Souls Through Evangelism. Ignite The Power Of The Holy Spirit In Every Believer's Life. Nurture Every Believer To Be A Disciple of Christ. A bus ministry was birthed enabling us to drive around town providing transportation to and from church services twice on Sundays to those who had no vehicle. We also started the Chadrick Vick Food Pantry connecting with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee providing 75 to 100 boxes of food to Families in need every month. We went for 3 years with no live Praise and worship just playing songs through youtube to now having a Piano player, a guitar player a drummer, and worship leader. We have recently started Children's church and that's doing well.

I'm bivocational working as the General Sales Manager at a local car Dealership here in Knoxville. I also own The Jackpot New and Used furniture Antiques and Uniques, a small business that someday I have a vision to use the building and property for ministry. I have been in the car business for 39 years and I have always been a top producer with strong leadership skills. When I was 26 years old, I started my first car lot with $30.00 to my name and within 9 months I had 100 cars and titles to everyone one of them moving forward to having 4 car used car dealerships. God has Gifted me and Blessed me.
