Richard is a Pastor, Preacher, Husband, Father, Mentor, and diligent servant for the Kingdom of God. He accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 14 and immediately became active in the church.
At age 19, while studying at SouthEastern Bible College, the call to ministry began to manifest as Richard accepted the position as a campus Bible Study student facilitator and he later become a campus chaplain. Richard demonstrated a passion and purpose to preach and do ministry. He volunteered with several organizations, including Habitat For Humanity, in an effort to help build homes for less fortunate families in the community.

In 2016, Pastor Cade started the non-profit organization "The Man Project", which is a hands-on mentor program for young men in Birmingham and surrounding cities. He also serves as a Chaplain for the Jefferson County Sheriff's office, under Sheriff Mark Pettway.
