Bro. HarreLl Henton
Minister & Servant of God
”Minister Harrell Henton has been working for the Lord for as long as he can remember. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Robert Holt Sr. he has made the grand decision to dedicate his full life to the work of the Lord and His church.
He is a graduate of Miami Carol City Senior High School and after finishing there, he matriculated to Florida Memorial College, where studied Communications. Beginning his path toward the work of the church, he became a Christian, being baptized into the body of Christ, on January 10, 1993, at the tender age of 9. From there, continuing to spend time with his grandfather and mentor, Robert Holt Sr., he began to learn an abundance of the Word of God, words of wisdom, and just in general becoming a man. Little did he know at the time that he was being groomed to one day take over the Ministry of the Brownsville Church of Christ. In August of 2011, Harrell was handed the torch in the delivery of God's word. He was installed as the full-time Minister of the Brownsville Church of Christ on the 22nd day of August. From there, he decided to make it his mission to continue to build the Brownsville congregation as a loving and family-oriented church until Jan 2026. He is currently the full-time Minister of Sugar Creek Church of Christ where he is a devoted Servant, Leader, & Man of God.
With the support and encouragement of his family and membership, he has begun to build this church, increasing membership, creating more programs, and strengthening the programs already in existence. As a young man leading a great church, many times it can be difficult, but Minister Henton understands that success does not come without hard work, but he knows that with God all things are possible! Brother Henton is married to a wonderful helpmeet, Kellee, and they have two beautiful kids, Kaleah, and Harrison. With a full-time position as a Chaplain, and a full-time Ministry, Bro. Henton has his plate full. But he is up for the challenge and having a close relationship with the Lord and living by the Word of God, he knows that he will be blessed, no matter what the situation is. Bro. Henton's encouragement to many, and one of his favorite scriptures, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy path (Proverbs 3:5-6). To the youth, remember the race is not given to the swift or
the strong, but to those that endure until the end.“

When Your Past Won’t Let You Go - Min. Harrell L. Henton
Psalm 51:10
Sometimes our past mistakes become louder than God’s grace. Infidelity can leave behind guilt, regret, broken trust, and painful memories that make us wonder whether we can ever become the person God wants us to be. But Scripture reminds us that repentance begins with honesty, not hiding. David prayed, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). God does not ask us to pretend that our failures were insignificant; He calls us to acknowledge them, take responsibility, learn from them, and turn away from the patterns that led us there.
Forgiveness does not always remove consequences, and healing does not happen overnight, but God’s mercy gives us the strength to face the truth without allowing shame to become our identity.
Your past may always be part of your story, but it does not have to write the final chapter. You cannot go back and change what happened, but you can choose what happens next. You can become more honest, establish healthier boundaries, seek accountability, rebuild trust patiently, and choose faithfulness one day at a time. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Don’t spend the rest of your life punishing yourself for the person you once were; spend it becoming the person God is calling you to be. Let your failure teach you humility, let God’s grace teach you forgiveness, and let your future be shaped not by your worst decision, but by the faithful decisions you make today.
