Philip Morris

Philip is the husband of Denise (his better half) and the father of John and Hope (who are precious to him). He is the son of Mary and (the late) Philip Morris Sr. of Salisbury, Maryland (long-time pastors, missionaries, and educators). 

​

Born in Cleveland, Tennessee, that is also where he married the beautiful Denise after they both graduated from Lee University. He then went on to graduate from the Pentecostal Theological Seminary while serving as Staff Minister at Westmore Church of God. 

​

Philip, Denise, John , and Hope moved to Maryland to become the founding pastor of Crossroads Church of God (Fruitland, Maryland) before returning to Tennessee to serve Thrive Church. Now Philip wakes up every day excited to see how God is going to make his church THRIVE!
