Elder Dallas Lauderdale Jr

Elder Dallas Lauderdale Jr accepted Christ at the age of 6 and was baptized at the Zion Hill Baptist Church, in Cleveland Ohio. As a son and grandson of Baptist preachers he grew up in a God fearing home and never strayed too far away from his spiritual roots. 

Determined however not to follow the footsteps of his father, Elder Lauderdale attended the Ohio State University where he graduated with a degree in Architecture. In 1980 Elder Lauderdale married his college sweetheart and began attending the Mt. Hermon Baptist Church. At Mt Hermon, he worked as an Architectural Consultant for the late Dr. R.L. Fuller in the construction of the Good Samaritan Foundation Home. Following the death of Dr. Fuller, Elder O.D. Bouie was called to Pastor Mt. Hermon and the Lord quickly bonded a lasting relationship between these two men. 

1998, Elder Lauderdale was ordained as a Deacon and in Feb 1999 he began to receive his call from God to a higher level of service. In November of 2006, he was ordained as an Elder and subsequently planted the Trinity Christian Church.  

Elder Lauderdale is a passionate man of God who believes that the holiness of God should resonate in His people. He has been married to his college sweetheart Carol since 1980 and has two children Tahja and Dallas and was employed at NASA for 34 Years.
