Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Phillip Anthony Walker has been the Senior Pastor of Mt. Pleasant Worship & Outreach Center (MPWOC) since 1994, bringing more than two decades of leadership experience to Tree of Life.  His passion is urban ministry and revitalizing distressed communities through spiritual and economic empowerment and relational development.

Before becoming the full-time shepherd, Apostle Walker was a software engineer at IBM. He accepted the call to preach the gospel in September 1977 and ordained in October 1979.  His spiritual foundation was received under the tutelage of his mother, Lois W. Hinton, pastor and founder of MPWOC.

Walker recently authored a book entitled, An Invitation to the Extraordinary: Releasing the Water-Walker Within.
