Our Bishop

Bishop Dr. George Wesley Bratcher III, son of Lady Karen Stokes-Minus and the late Reverend Dr. George W. Bratcher Jr, is called and set apart for the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is anointed and possesses the ability to catch God’s attention. Preaching the gospel since the age of eight, his prophetic message has become mature and diverse. He has traveled extensively across the nation under the watchful care of his grandmother, the late Saint Mother Margaret “Rainy” Bratcher, singing and preaching the gospel of the lord Jesus Christ. Under the tutelage of great faith leaders like Bishop Robert Pritchett, Apostle Patricia Williams, Bishop George Bloomer, Pastor Kim Burrell, Bishop Iona Locke, and Bishop Liston Page, George has developed into one of the most highly sought-after preachers, teachers, and worship leaders of his time. Dr. Bratcher’s ministry has been featured on television and conference programs such as Mega Fest, TBN, BET, The Word Network, and INSP. Despite that, his humble attitude exudes servant not celebrity. His passion for the people of God has separated him from the rest and opened many doors. Not only a giant in the spiritual but also in the natural. Dr. George Bratcher is an educated black male who has become a voice for a hungry and progressing generation. An advocate for those that have been wounded, hurting, and in despair. In 2012 George received his Doctorate of Ministry from Lighthouse University. For the past twenty-five years, Bishop Bratcher’s life has been dedicated to the work of christian ministry, committed to helping the community and assigned to carry this glorious gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. In 2017, after much prayer and diligence, the Lord instructed Dr. Bratcher to birth the Church of the Fresh Start in Houston, Texas. After a public decree from bishop Iona Locke, October 12th, 2021 Dr. Bratcher was consecrated as Bishop and affirmed as an apostle in God’s One Holy, Universal and Apostolic church. January 2024 Bishop Bratcher launched Believers Worldwide in Middletown, Delaware and is currently watching the manifestations of God unfold right before his very eyes. A general for his time, he is the fulfillment of God’s promise to the church and an ambassador to the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
