The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those that are bound. Isaiah 61:1
Dr. Elder Corey Hinton is an ordained Elder, Evangelist, Revivalist, and sought-after Conference Speaker whose ministry reflects more than a decade of anointed service, transformative preaching, and passionate outreach. Called at an early age—much like the prophet Jeremiah—he was divinely chosen and set apart before birth to proclaim the Gospel and champion holiness within the body of Christ.
At the core of his ministry is a guiding principle he shares with everyone he encounters:
“True ministry is about meeting people where they are while giving them the keys to obtain a better life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
A native of Newark, New Jersey, Elder Hinton began his ministry journey at the age of ten, ministering at national youth conventions throughout his formative years. These early experiences helped shape his strong foundation in purpose, discipline, and prophetic proclamation. After honorably serving in the United States Navy, he fully embraced his call to preach in 2004, launching a ministry that continues to impact lives across generations.
Elder Hinton has been mentored and spiritually sharpened by respected Kingdom leaders, including Bishop Alfred A. Owens, the late Superintendent Nathan L. Simmons, and Bishop Anthony W. Gilyard. Their influence helped cultivate his distinctive preaching style—one characterized by prophetic insight, fervent intercession, and a deep compassion for souls. His ministry spans youth conferences, revivals, leadership summits, and corporate worship gatherings, where his messages remain both timely and transformative.
Beyond the pulpit, Elder Hinton is deeply committed to evangelistic outreach. His service includes ministry to the homeless, prison outreach, and missions that reflect the heart of Christ. As a former youth pastor and ongoing spiritual motivator, he continues to inspire and empower young people across the nation to live purpose-driven, Christ-centered lives.
Dr. Hinton’s academic achievements further complement his ministry impact. He holds a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) with a specialization in Criminal Justice, an MBA in International Business Management from Kean University, and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Strayer University. He also earned an Advanced Diploma in Theological Studies from Pneuma Life School of Ministry, accredited by the Oral Roberts Institute, received an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from CICA International University & Seminary, and obtained Chaplaincy Certification from Word of Life Ministries International in 2014. He remains committed to expanding his influence across both ministry and marketplace systems.
Elder Corey Hinton is a man on divine assignment—serving with integrity, humility, and unwavering obedience to the will of God. His life and ministry stand as a living testimony of one who is called, equipped, and sent for such a time as this.
