Reverend Sims was born in South Carolina but raised in Detroit, Michigan, where he attended Detroit public schools, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State University. He retired from the United States Postal Service as the Operations Manager for the east side of Detroit and Southfield, where he also mentored many employees throughout his career.
Rev. Sims is an ordained minister with a passion for helping others in need, as well as mentoring, uplifting, and developing the youth. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior as a young child and is always ready to share a word about the Lord. Rev. Sims was called into the ministry in 1998 under the leadership of Pastor Larry Smith of New St. Mark Missionary Church in Detroit, Michigan. He received his ministry license in December 2000. In 2004, he transitioned his membership to Mt. Sion Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, where he ministered under the leadership of Pastor Samuel Nettles. Officially ordained as a minister in 2006, Rev. Sims was appointed to the position of assistant to Pastor Nettles shortly after.
As a visionary, leader, and servant of God, Rev. Sims has been very active in the church. One of his many assignments was teaching Sunday school for the adult class. He also initiated special programs for married couples and mentorship for young men.
Rev. Sims’ gifts and talents extend beyond the walls of the church. He is also a gospel playwright and has produced and directed gospel stage plays and concerts. As a means of giving back, he has sponsored several youth scholarship programs at his events. One of his long-term goals is to sponsor an outreach program for young men in Detroit.
Rev. Sims is married to Gwendolyn Sims, and their family consists of three daughters, one son, four grandchildren, and their pet Yorkshire, Oscar. Rev. Sims is also passionate about cars, especially old-school and classic cars. In fact, he loves cars so much that he decided to come out of retirement and work as a sales consultant at a Land Rover dealership.
