In 1996, while living in Olathe Kansas, Pastor Alder heeded the Word of the Lord, quit his corporate job, and moved his family to Columbia South Carolina where he accepted a Minister of Music position with a local church. Although South Carolina was a place of growth, enlightenment and challenge, Pastor Alder and his family grew in the grace and knowledge of the Lord, and gained a wealth of experience, established life-changing relationships and enjoyed the 4+ years they resided there.
Eventually, the Word of the Lord came again Pastor Alder and his wife Marvel, to move west. Once again, in obedience to the Lord, Pastor Alder relocated his family to Sacramento in October of 2000 and later joined them in December of the same year.

Pastor Alder's charismatic/prophetic call and insight into the things of God makes his ministry unusual, enlightening, energizing and life-changing. He walks with 'The Prophet's Mantle' firmly upon his shoulders and has vowed to 'obey God at all costs'. Pastor Alder has been married for 30 years to his wife Marvel Martin-Alder and they are blessed with 3 children, Darrell "DC" II, Katreena and Kristeena.
