Apostle Gregory Mitchell is the founder and senior pastor of Breath of Life International Ministries (BOLM) of Lumberton, North Carolina. Apostle Mitchell is also the sole founder of Gregory Mitchell Ministries, Inc. He has over fifteen years in ministry and is committed to bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to all races and nationalities of people; first, in his community and then globally as God expands his vision. Apostle Mitchell received the vision of Breath of Life Ministries in 1994. Several years passed before he recognized the vision he now possesses. He was totally committed to the vision of his former pastor, Apostle Michael Fields until God later revealed that the vision of Apostle Mitchell was indeed his own. In October 2000, Apostle Mitchell held the church's first worship service in his home located in Rowland, North Carolina with six people in attendance. Over the years, the ministry has grown by leaps and bounds and continues to grow today. Growth is essential, and God has prospered the ministry in more ways than one. After worshipping in various locations, the congregation has settled into its current location. Apostle Mitchell is a native of Rowland, North Carolina and is the seventh of nine children born from the union of oneness between Robert and Tommie Jane Mitchell. He furthered his education by receiving a diploma from Robeson Community College and matriculated to North Carolina Agriculture & Technical State University. In 2001, he continued his education by receiving a Diploma of Theology from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Apostle Mitchell received his Bachelor's Degree in Science and Religion from Liberty University and is currently working on his Master's Degree in Divinity with a cognate in Theology.
