Dr. Jamison Douglas Hytche Hunter is a visionary pastor, scholar, author, and community leader whose ministry has been marked by dynamic preaching, transformational leadership, and a steadfast commitment to spiritual formation, social engagement, and academic excellence. Born in Austin, Texas, and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, Dr. Hunter answered the call to preach the Gospel as a teenager and has since dedicated his life to advancing the Kingdom of God through preaching, teaching, mentorship, and servant leadership.

Dr. Hunter's passion for learning and theological scholarship is reflected in his distinguished academic journey. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in 2006, a Master of Divinity degree from the Howard University School of Divinity in 2009, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from United Theological Seminary in 2012.
