Myrvin Garnett

Myrvin was born in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands to Guyanese parents. His parents traveled to many of the local island where they settled in the British Virgin Islands before moving to the states. Education was top priority for his dad. To continue with the structured education in the BVI, his parents enrolled at St. John Neumann Catholic primary school. He was allowed to make his own decision to attended Thomas A. Edison Vocational & Technical High School with studies in mechanical drafting and engineering where he graduated in 1990. He was accepted at New York Institute of Technology Manhattan Campus where he attended classes nightly and on weekends while working in the financial market. He attended St. Paul Community Baptist Church in East New York, Brooklyn under Rev. Dr. Johnny Ray Youngblood.

Myrvin purchased his first home and moved his young family to suburbs for a better life. Although the seed was planted; he fell out of fellowship. Some years later, he would eventually move back to East New York, Brooklyn to his family home. Myrvin returned seeking guidance at St. Paul Community Baptist Church. The growing church welcomed him back just as Rev. Dr. David K. Brawley joined the leadership to head the men's ministry. Experiencing this phenomenon of men in the church, led him to seek a closer relationship with God. He started to rebuild his life and continued his corporate climb which led him to a senior management position Long Island. Myrvin then moved to Amityville, NY where he fell out of fellowship yet again but still kept prayer in his life. In 2009, divine faith stepped in when he met his wife, Evangelist Nadean not knowing she would be God’s answered prayer. At this time, Myrvin realized that through his relationship with God by prayer; he needed to fully commit to His saving grace through salvation that only comes from Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. He accepted God as the leader of his life whole heartedly. He intentionally sought to be baptized at St. Paul Community Baptist Church in East New York, Brooklyn under the newly installed Pastor, Rev. Dr. David K Brawley. It is at St. Paul that Myrvin first saw black men of faith in our community sharing the Word of God and supporting one another. He decided to join the church.God answered his prayers when it came to a spouse and their union. Together they have 5 children, and 2 grandchildren.

Now joined as one, they both decided to join Faith Deliverance Christian Center soon after its’ birth under the leadership of Bishop Jermaine Henderson. Seeing the active male presence at FDCC, Myrvin felt led to stay on the path seeking God. Bishop Jermaine Henderson and the founding members selected him to be a Deacon. He didn't want a title or position within the church but he was willing to serve. Titles didn't impress him and he understood that it was a serious responsibility. Myrvin finally accepted and took the charge of Deacon seriously while serving.

In 2024, he was ordained as a Minister under the leadership of Pastor Kim Hargwood and the Holy Spirits' guidance. He has been trusted to speak to God’s people and has shown to be faithful through trials as he continues seeking more of God. Minister Myrvin & Evangelist Nadean Garnett are servants of the Lord along with their son Nehemiah.
