Its foundation was in 1991, when he returned from a trip to Africa. There the Lord gave him the name and mission for the church.
Bishop Barnett was born in Washington, DC and educated in the public schools there. In the early 1980s, he helped the late Rev. Conrad Brooks establish the Christian Praise Church in Washington, DC, serving in evangelism and the men’s ministry, and was selected as deacon. He was called into the ministry in 1982 and ordained in 1986. He served his pastor until his calling to the pastorate was evident in 1990.
He started Greater Grace Family Ministries Church with the support of his loving wife of twenty-nine years, First Lady Adrienne H. Barnett, his sons, and three other families. After twenty-four years, the ministry is still flowing in the anointing of the Holy Spirit; bonds are loosed, the oppressed are set free, curses are broken, spiritual maturity is evident in believers, and the spiritual leadership is focused and connected to the divine godhead to carry out divine purpose.
Bishop Barnett has had many souls saved by God while training candidates for the ministry through Greater Grace Family Ministries Church. Some went on to work elsewhere in the kingdom of God as deacons, ministers, pastors, and evangelists.view less
