Lewis T. Hilton, Jr. (more affectionately) known as Bishop Bobby Hilton is capturing the nation’s attention with his soul-stirring style of “teacher preaching”. Dr. Mark Chironna described the Bishop as “…a voice to our generation… [who] has provided for us a pattern, a process and an opportunity to commit to eternal values and see incredible results”. This Cincinnati-based pastor is making a significant mark in building the Kingdom of God through use of multimedia. He has been featured on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), The Word Network, The Inspirational Network, and many other local, regional, and national television and radio shows. Bishop Hilton’s Taking the Word to the World™ radio broadcast airs Sunday mornings at 7:30 a.m. (EST) on 103.1 FM and 1050 AM WGRI.

This facility is designed to meet the congregation’s spiritual and physical needs as well as provide human service programs and economic solutions that facilitate the restoration and healing of individuals, families and communities.

Bishop Hilton’s first book, “The Blessing of Commitment: Releasing Wealth & Riches Into Your Life”, received praises from leaders nationally and internationally. According to Dr. Myles Munroe, “Bishop Hilton has effectively isolated the time-tested principles that guarantee success in life…” Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, Jr. called this work “a powerful presentation of the awesome things God is willing to do for His children.” Bishop Hilton’s latest book, Destined for Glory: Fulfilling God’s Purpose & Plan for Your Life, garnered high marks. Dr. Teresa Hairston, President/CEO of Gospel Today wrote, “Throughout the text, Hilton clearly unfolds the reasons we can and should achieve our God-given destiny.”

Bishop Bobby Hilton declared in his inaugural live recording with Word of Deliverance Mass Choir, “God Did That Thing!” He penned most of the titles on this project and was honored to have Evangelist Dorothy Norwood join him on the title cut.

Andrews helped Bishop rock the house on the Congregational Medley, and Bishop Michael Blue stirred the house with the song, Fire”.
