Elder Chaun L. Ricks

Elder Chaun L. Ricks is a man of integrity with an awesome teaching anointing, the gift of revelation knowledge, and a longing to produce mature saints through the cultivation of the Word of the Lord.

Born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, under the watchful eye of his mother Elder Sylvia Hillard and his grandmother the late Irene B. Ricks, Elder Ricks received his secular training in Portsmouth Public School system.  After receiving a diploma from Manor High School, he accepted a music scholarship to Norfolk State University.

Life's journey took him to various places such as Houston, Texas and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and eventually landing him in New Castle, Delaware where his true purpose and his life's destiny was to be revealed.  It was in New Castle that God allowed him to be ministered to by a true woman of God, Apostle Patricia Williams, who spoke the words of life concerning his destiny.  God supplied him with a helpmeet in the form of Elder Tawana Ricks and together they began proclaiming the "Good News" of Jesus Christ through the ministry of reconciliation, evangelism, music and Biblical teachings.

Elder Ricks has come up through the ranks of ministry and God has exhaulted and lifted him up as he humbles himself before the Almighty.  Gifted with several talents, Elder Ricks stands as a beacon of light to me of all ages.

some of the accomplishments of this man of God includes teaching Sunday School and Bible Study, facilitating several workshops, implementing Christian orientations, and hosting weekly cable program "The Vine Connection".  He is currently the National Elder for the Full Gospel Tabernacle Ministries Worldwide founded by his spiritual parents, Elder Tyson and Apostle Patricia C. Williams.

He has been blessed in holy matrimony for the past seven years to his best friend, Elder Tawana Ricks, while being a model father to his children Myesha, Denzel, Briyonna and Dayshanay.

Elder Ricks continues to stand on the word believing that the best offense against the tactics of the enemy is a good defense. . . and who better to defend you then the Word of God himself, Jesus Christ! ! !
