meet our shepherds

Apostle Quentin Farmer was born to Charlie and the late Viola Farmer. He was raised in the public housing community of Palmer Park, in Landover, MD. He is married to Pastor Aisha Farmer, and together they are raising two wonderful sons, Nasiem and Reshad.

As a young man, Apostle received several visions about his life from God. The Lord shared with him that his life had an anointing upon it and told him that he would someday preach the Gospel. From 1995 to 2007 the Lord dealt with him in a mighty way. God used various men and women in the faith to confirm his calling. Though reluctant to answer the call from God, he soon realized that he could run, but NOT hide from God!

In 2007, Apostle Farmer let go of his personal fears and moved forward in faith and became a member of Nothing But The Truth Ministries. In 2008 and under the tutelage and leadership of Apostle Tonya Y. Mitchell, he was appointed as one of the leaders in the church. Later on that year, he was ordained as a Deacon and continued to preach and teach the gospel all over the Maryland and DC area.

Being confirmed by the Holy Spirit and showing evidence in his walk, service and commitment to the growth and development of God’s people, Church of the Great ANOINTING was established on March 2, 2011.

On Sunday, September 9, 2012, Apostle Farmer was ordained as an Elder of Church of the Great ANOINTING by Apostle James M. Mills SR. of Newness of Life Bible Church and Pastor Deborah Chandler of Deborah Chandler Ministries.
