WHILE SERVING IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY, PASTOR CORBETT EXPERIENCED A NEW BEGINNING.
In 1977, he was born again and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1978. After eight years of active duty in the military, God called Pastor Corbett into the ministry. He left the military and moved to Greenville, North Carolina. Pastor Corbett attended Pitt Community College where he was a two-time honor graduate. He later achieved a BSA degree in Accounting from East Carolina University in Greenville and received employment as a Loan Bank Officer.
In 1985, Pastor Corbett transitioned from his banking career to full-time ministry. He received his Doctor of Biblical Studies and Doctor of Divinity Degree from World Christian College Council in Fresno, California on December 4, 1994. Pastor Corbett is the district director for the International Convention of Faith Ministries. God gave Pastor Corbett a vision to minister to the whole man; spirit soul, and body. The vision includes reaching communities with the gospel and taking the message of Jesus Christ around the world. He is fulfilling that vision through practical teaching of the Word of God, through Men, Women, and Singles Fellowships, daily radio and television broadcasts, teaching CDs, and supplementary books. His CDs are widely distributed throughout the United States.
He has also written several books including Men of Honor, Tithing the Tithe, Victory Over Grief, and Honoring Your Husband-Honoring Your Wife. Pastor Corbett also writes a monthly devotional, “A Word in Season.” He has five children and 16 grandchildren.
On February 23, 2013, Pastor James D. Corbett and Sister Sarah A. Perkins were united in Holy matrimony. PASTOR CORBETT DESIRES TO CONTINUE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS CONFIRMING THE PREACHING OF GOD'S WORD.
