Elder J. E. Graham
Senior Pastor & Founder

Elder James Earl Graham is the Senior Pastor and Founder of New Covenant Christian Center of Greensboro, North Carolina. He is a man the Lord is using to impact the Kingdom of God in North Carolina and the United States.

Pastor Graham was born in New York City and reared in Raeford, North Carolina. At the tender age of 15 years old, Pastor Graham gave his life to Jesus and has since been elevated in the Lord continually. He furthered his education at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, NC and obtained additional theological training at M&T Theological Institute.

He served the Kingdom of God at Rose of Sharon Church in Troy, North Carolina for 12 years under the leadership of Bishop Jethro Carpenter. During that period, he served as Deacon, Sunday School Instructor, and Superintendent of Sunday School Department. In 1992, he was called into the ministry and he became a licensed minister that following year. Upon hearing the call of the Holy Spirit to become a shepherd, he founded New Covenant Christian Center, Inc in 1996. Pastor Graham was further elevated by God upon being ordained as an Elder in 2000.

As a visionary and founding Pastor, Elder Graham has made it his goal to reach the city of Greensboro through the love of God. His desire to reach the lost has inspired the members of New Covenant to be a positive and godly influence in their marketplace - the places they live, work, and attend school, as well as their families and friends. Pastor Graham also founded the New Covenant Christian Center Food Pantry, which is presently feeding the hungry in Greensboro and the surrounding communities. He has served as an adjunct chaplain of Moses Cone Health Systems and he is a member of the Potter's House International Pastoral Alliance (PHIPA) under the leadership of Bishop T. D. Jakes of Dallas, Texas. He also serves as the Executive Director of the Elijah Project, a mentoring organization under the leadership of Bishop George W. Brooks, Senior Pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC.

Pastor Graham is married to Elder Anita Carpenter Graham and to this union four children Joslyn, Chelsea, Isaiah, and Sara. He has proven to be a man of God, a loving husband and father, and a dynamic leader. In addition to all of these things, he is an honored and respected servant of the Most High God!
