A “Magna-Cum-Laude” graduate, Dr. Heard received his undergraduate degree in Business Management with a minor in healthcare and a Masters’ Degree in Business Management, with a special emphasis in gerontology from Webster University. He also received his Doctorate Degree of Theology from Midwest College of Theology. Dr. Heard’s call to ministry came at his young-adult age of 26 while serving under the leadership of Supt. Benjamin Kelly. Being led by the Spirit of God, he joined his father, the late Pastor James Heard, Jr. in February 1999. Upon his father’s passing a year later, he was appointed Sr. Pastor of New Psalmist Church of God in Christ under Bishop William Scott. Under Dr. Heard’s leadership, the Lord prospered and blessed the ministry. In January 2008, the church moved into a newly built edifice. Shortly after, the ministry united with Bishop James Bolden of Evangelistic Ministries Church. New Destiny College of Theology opened in September 2011 with a high-record enrollment. The college also received top honor “Satellite School of the Year Award” from the parent organization, Midwest College of Theology, in its first year of operation.
