The Man. The Ministry. The Impact.

A fourth-generation preacher and pastor, Bishop Eric A. McDaniel stands as one of this generation’s most prolific and didactic voices in the preaching and teaching ministry. The eldest of four children born to the late Bishop Allen and Lady Richardine McDaniel, Bishop McDaniel continues a distinguished spiritual legacy deeply rooted in the proclamation of the Gospel and the preservation of apostolic faith. Alongside his wife, Pastor Subrenia McDaniel—a powerful preacher and ministry partner in her own right—he leads with vision, compassion, and conviction. Together, they are the proud parents of Brittney and Bria, who are also two gifted singers and anointed preachers, and the joyful grandparents of four beloved grandchildren, each with their own affectionate name for “Papa.”

​

Marked from his youth by both musical brilliance and spiritual depth, Bishop McDaniel’s journey began early. At just thirteen, he served as the church organist and choir director, displaying an extraordinary aptitude for worship and leadership. By sixteen, he had accepted his call to preach the Gospel, delivering his inaugural sermon with the same passion and eloquence that would one day move nations. His formative years gave rise to the Bronx Mass Choir, a groundbreaking ensemble that ignited his long and celebrated relationship with the gospel music industry—merging sound and Spirit in a way that transcended tradition and redefined worship.

​

A consummate scholar, preacher, and practitioner, Bishop McDaniel’s ministry extends far beyond the pulpit. As Senior Pastor of The Lord’s Church Family Worship Center, with thriving campuses in Bronx, New York and Raleigh, North Carolina, he has built a legacy of faith that integrates sound doctrine with dynamic leadership. Known for his balance of scholarly insight and pastoral warmth, Bishop McDaniel is both a spiritual father and a thought leader—bridging generations, cultures, and denominations through the power of the Word and the authenticity of his witness. His ministry embodies the intersection of intellect and inspiration, equipping believers to not only shout in worship but also think critically, live biblically, and lead effectively.

​

As a sought-after preaching evangelist, conference speaker, and leadership facilitator, Bishop McDaniel commands platforms around the world with a voice that is as convicting as it is comforting. His messages are marked by prophetic precision, revelatory depth, and an unmatched ability to make complex theological truths accessible and transformative. Whether standing before thousands in a convocation or mentoring a handful of emerging leaders, his goal remains the same: to bring God’s people into deeper revelation, renewed purpose, and radical faith.

​

Above all, Bishop McDaniel is a worshiper—his melodic gift and anointed songwriting continue to stir hearts, calling believers into genuine encounters with God. Every sermon, every song, every session bears his unmistakable imprint: clarity of mind, purity of heart, and the fire of the Holy Spirit.

After experiencing the ministry of this modern-day oracle, one does not simply hear another sermon—they encounter a voice that awakens destiny, restores hope, and propels the believer toward divine purpose.
