A little bit about NLDT

In the mid 1980’s, the Lord led Bishop Fred Brown along with less than 50 members to embark upon a journey to establish a ministry on St. Helena Island, SC. The pastor, Bishop Fred Brown, led these pioneers through wildernesses of Frissell Community Hall at the Penn Center Campus, Freeborn Deliverance Temple in Port Royal and other temporary worship locations. Eventually, property in an area called Indian Hill was purchased from Rev. Arthur and the late Sis Zezalee Smalls. Thus began the inception of the idea of a church structure and the name New Life Deliverance Temple’ was born!

New Life Deliverance Temple has been blessed to have three pastors, with one of the pastors serving two times. Bishop Daniel L. Russell, Jr. has served NLDT in the 1990's and again from 2007. 

New Life Deliverance Temple holistically presents Christ so that one’s body, soul, and mind is attuned to meet life’s challenges.

Bishop D.L. Russell, Jr., D. Min.

In August 2007, a call was made to Pastor D.L. Russell Jr., who was at the time, living in Winston Salem, NC with his wife Judy. Both had furthered their education in undergrad and grad school and had served faithfully in ministry at Mount Calvary Holy Church, Winston Salem, NC. Pastor Russell was the Senior Pastor for five years, with his wife, Judy serving in several ministerial capacities. 

Pastor Russell had released the pastoral reins of Mount Calvary and was operating and traveling as the National Elder for Mount Calvary, working as a full-time Deputy Sheriff and assisting Judy in her Home Health Care Agency. However, after receiving this call from their ‘first love’ they left all and returned to St. Helena Is., SC. Pastor Russell and Judy returned to New Life Deliverance Temple and the church gladly received both of them, installing him as Pastor on September 5, 2007!
