Church

Since 1991, Dr. Griffin has been a Pastor in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.

As a pastor, I have spoken at various ecumenical worship services as well as special programs such as veterans’ organizations, NAACP, and black history community programs. In addition to elementary and middle school settings, I have taught and instructed personal and spiritual growth seminars for youth, young adults, and middle adults and senior citizens. Finally, I have preached the gospel of liberation to those who have been victimized by environmental and societal conditions and have served as spiritual guide and leader to over 3500 persons.
