About Dr. T.L. Lowery

The ministry of T.L. Lowery during a 60-year career has been marked by three divine assignments: He has served as an evangelist, a pastor and a denominational executive. In each season of ministry, his work has been anointed by the Holy Spirit and blessed with success.

As evangelist, T.L. Lowery has placed the proclamation of the Word in power for spiritual transformation as the central theme of his ministry. In whatever office he has held, he has been a soulwinner. For 15 years he criss-crossed the nation with a tent that held 10,000 worshipers, impacting cities and regions with the power of the gospel. He preached in scores of conventions, camp meetings and citywide gatherings with a legacy of thousands of converts, people healed, and believers filled with the Spirit. His evangelistic ministry has taken him to 115 nations of the world.

He has been a pastor of two great churches: North Cleveland Church of God, the flagship church of its denomination and one of the oldest continually-existing Pentecostal churches in the world, and National Church of God, a growing church that serves the nation's capital. In the 20 years he led these two churches, membership in each increased exponentially, successive building programs gave the congregations great sanctuaries and educational plants, homes for retired persons were constructed, and hundreds of members were discipled and sent out for ministry. The churches became drawing boards and models for training of other pastors.

As a denominational executive, Dr. Lowery has brought dimensions of faith and vision to his leadership posts. Serving 16 years on the Executive Committee, the five-man group of top leaders of the Church of God, and 34 years on the Executive Council, its highest elected governing body, he has furnished visionary leadership and caring ministry to pastors.

During his years of ministry, his wife, Mildred Woodard Lowery, has labored faithfully alongside him and has graced his ministry with her compassionate nature and discerning spirit. Their son, Stephen Lowery, who followed his father as pastor of the National congregation, ministers in the same anointing.

The T.L. Lowery Global Foundation sees Dr. Lowery as an exemplary model for today's evangelists, pastors and church leaders. It will sponsor gatherings in which Dr. Lowery will share Biblical teaching about apostolic ministry, and will introduce Dr. Lowery to a new generation of young men and women of God. The goal is to encourage effective ministry in the model of this faithful servant.
