Pastors & Ministers
Prophet Richard Summerlin
Founding PastorProphet Richard Summerlin is the Founder and Senior Pastor of New Way Church in Palm Coast, Florida. In 1987, while attending high school in Margate, Florida, he answered the call of God upon his life. What began as a personal surrender to God's purpose would ultimately impact thousands of lives across the United States and around the world.
Following years of preparation and ministry, the Lord called Prophet Richard and his family to the growing community of Palm Coast. In September 2006, Prophet Richard and Pastor Kimberly Summerlin launched New Way Church, beginning in a local high school with just nine people in attendance—seven of whom were family members. Through faith, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to the call of God, New Way Church has grown into a thriving ministry that has reached tens of thousands through local outreach, conferences, missions, media, and international ministry efforts.
For nearly four decades, Prophet Summerlin has dedicated his life to preaching the uncompromised Word of God, equipping believers, and raising up leaders for the Kingdom of God. Alongside Pastor Kimberly, he has mentored and trained countless men and women to discover their God-given purpose, develop their spiritual gifts, and faithfully pursue the call of God on their lives.
As a prophetic voice to this generation, Prophet Summerlin carries a passion for revival, spiritual awakening, and preparing the Church for the days ahead. His ministry is marked by a deep commitment to the presence and power of God, biblical truth, and seeing lives transformed through an encounter with Jesus Christ. He serves under the spiritual covering and mentorship of Apostle Guillermo Maldonado.
Prophet Richard and Pastor Kimberly Summerlin remain committed to fulfilling the assignment God has entrusted to them—reaching the lost, equipping believers, and advancing the Kingdom of God both nationally and internationally. Their heart is to see every person experience the love of Christ, walk in the fullness of their calling, and become all that God has created them to be.
"I believe that God has assigned me to bring His Word around the world—to teach it, preach it, and implant it into the hearts of others." — Prophet Richard Summerlin
