bishop Joel robinson sr.

our pastor

Bishop Joel Robinson is a native of Jacksonville, FL. He was educated in the Duval county school system where he received his secondary education. He graduated with a bachelors of Science in Biblical studies from Maranatha Christian college, and is currently pursuing a Masters in Theology. He has served in various areas of ministry from music director to senior pastor.

Blessed by God to grow up in a Christian home that was saturated in God’s word. Pastor Jeremiah Robinson Sr. and Lady Janice Robinson had five children where Bishop Joel Robinson was the last child. Bishop Robinson has one anointed singing sister (Gloria Wells) and has three brothers (Rev. Jeremiah Robinson Jr., Rev. Jerome Robinson, Bishop Jeffery Robinson) in the gospel ministry as well.

He was reluctant to go into ministry because he saw personally how hard and demanding it was. He accepted Jesus as his personal Lord September 15,1991 at the age of thirteen. Bishop Robinson has always wanted to do more for God since that age, he personally did all that he could to seek God’s face in worship and used his voice to sing the praises of God. In 2001 he formed a Gospel music group named New Vision, where they ministered songs that were originally written by him since 1995. It was then that God showed him that He was to be his mouthpiece as well in his own right. On April 7, 2002 at 4pm he preached his initial sermon entitled “I am chosen” John 15:16.

Bishop Robinson is thankful to God to be blessed with three Wonderful children Tanee’, Kennedy and Joel II and one gorgeous granddaughter Makayla. Through the study of God’s word, a consistent prayer life and heart of worship with a commitment to servant leadership he strives to proclaim the Good News of God’s love, to help others to be committed in relationship with our LORD.

Dedicated to lead new believers and those who will follow in Word,Prayer, praise and worship of our father. Bishop Robinson is on assignment by God, not only to pray, preach and sing, but also to teach the people of God the value of worship, while bringing the revelation of God’s word in a practical way so that people may grasp and apply it to everyday life. Bishop Robinson is the proud Pastor of the Greater Mount Salem Baptist Church in the Beautiful city of Jacksonville Florida, where ” We are Great People, With Great Power, Serving a Great God”.
