The Church you have been looking for! Bishop H. Curtis Douglas, Senior Pastor Overseer Stanley M. Kidd & Pastor Lenore Kidd, Pastors Emeriti

Bishop H. Curtis Douglas is the Senior Pastor of Dabar Bethlehem Cathedral in Queens Village, New York, and the Overseer of Dabar Ministries. He has served the Lord for more than 30 years and has risen through the ranks, serving in all areas of ministry. Bishop Douglas is a faithful man, and a proven soldier and officer in the Lord’s army. He is anointed by God to preach and teach the Word of God, committed to announcing the good news of the Gospel with power and clarity to all people, and desires to see souls saved and nurtured in the Kingdom of God. He has a special burden for men and is dedicated to empowering them to rise up and be all that God has called them to be. An accomplished musician, composer, choir director, and worship leader who, like the psalmist David, is anointed to usher in the presence of the Lord, Bishop Douglas has assisted numerous churches across the nation in gaining a fuller understanding of praise and worship and how to implement these Biblical principles into their worship experience. He is also a writer and director who has produced plays and musicals that have ministered to the church at large, and brought the pages of Scripture to life. After 25 years of putting music to scripture, he has finally completed his own project, Scriptures in Song, a collection of worship songs based upon messages preached over the last two decades. The newly released (December 2012) worship album features a wide array of anointed selections such as Captain of War, Walk on The Water, Who Jesus Is, and Grace Be Unto You. Bishop Douglas was ordained to the Presbytery in 1990 by the late Archbishop Wilbert S. McKinley. In 1998, he took a step of faith and started Dabar Worship Center in Brooklyn, New York. In October 2007, Bishop Donald Hilliard, II consecrated Bishop Douglas to the Episcopacy. He serves on the Episcopal Council of the Covenant Ecumenical Fellowship and Cathedral Assemblies (CEFCA) as General Treasurer. In January 2010, after 50 years of pastoring, Overseer Stanley M. Kidd and Pastor Lenore Kidd initiated a meeting with Bishop and Lady Douglas, to discuss the future of Bethlehem Missionary Church located in Queens Village, New York. After a series of meetings, and understanding this to be the mind of God, it was agreed that the two churches would be engrafted. It was decided that there would be one church in one location with one Senior Pastor, Bishop H. Curtis Douglas. Overseer and Pastor Kidd would serve as Pastors Emeritus. In April 2010, meetings ensued to discuss plans for the engrafting; praying and deliberating the best way to merge Dabar Worship Center and Bethlehem Missionary Church. Both churches announced to their respective congregations, plans to merge the ministries, and talks continued over the summer to discuss the new organizational structure, ministries and departments, new by-laws, the yearly calendar of church events, and the engrafting service. On October 2, 2010, the engrafting service was held and Dabar Bethlehem Cathedral (DBC) was birthed. On Sunday, October 3rd, Bishop Douglas addressed the congregation for the first time as the new Pastor, thanking Overseer and Pastor Kidd and exhorting his congregation. His first sermon was ‘The Place God Has Prepared’ taken from Joshua 2. Dabar Bethlehem Cathedral’s mission statement proclaims that this local church body is “dedicated to developing balanced people of God, who will advance the kingdom of God; committed to touching lives with God’s love and changing generations with God’s Word.” DBC is devoted to monthly ministries in prisons and nursing homes, and serve the hungry and homeless through The Heart of Compassion ministry. DBC supports several missionaries in Africa, Guyana, Jamaica, and the United States. Each year missionary teams travel throughout the world. Our youth (A.R.M.Y.) and young adult (C.O.R.P.S.) ministries are a focal point of ministry at DBC. The youth are actively involved in choirs, dance, mime, step, drama and technical areas such as video and audio operations. DBC’s youth and young adults are vibrant with a genuine love for the Lord. DBC strives to minister to the “whole” man – body, soul and spirit – through the teaching and preaching of God’s word, nurturing and encouraging each other. The church seeks those who would know Jesus as Lord and Savior. All are welcome regardless of economic, educational or social status. In June, 2013, Bishop announced to the congregation that DBC will be burning its mortgage in August 2013; six years ahead of schedule! The news spread quickly, and the air is charged with excitement and anticipation. We stand in awe of the goodness and faithfulness of God. The mortgage burning service celebrating this historic event was held on Sunday, August 25th at 5:00 p.m. An excellent group of Elders support Bishop Douglas’ vision and help to administrate this great work: Rev. Sandra Manning, Associate Pastor, Rev. Yvette Alphonsus, Rev. Sheryl Joe, Rev. Joan Scott-Dixon, Rev. Clinton Steadman, and Rev. Tyrone Zimmerman. Bishop Douglas and his wife Yolanda, have four children: Courtney, Johanna, Rebekah, and Jonathan.
