Claude’s Journey: From Athlete to Community Leader and Small Business  Owner 

Claude was born in Jamaica and raised in Belle Glade, Florida, where he was  deeply influenced by his Jamaican heritage and the values instilled by his  hard-working immigrant parents. They taught him the importance of giving  back to the community as a way of building it up. Today, Claude integrates  those lessons into his work, ensuring that every endeavor he undertakes  benefits those around him. 

A graduate of Glades Central High School, Claude earned a football  scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. There, he majored in  Communication Rhetoric and excelled on the field, earning All-American  honors. Beyond sports, he was a team leader for the Fellowship of Christian  Athletes, emphasizing faith, leadership, and community service. His time at  Pitt shaped his character, instilling in him a sense of responsibility to lead and  inspire others. 

In 2004, Claude was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the  Chicago Bears. Over the course of his nine-year professional football career,  he played for teams in the United States and Canada, including New York,  Detroit, Kansas City, and the Toronto Argonauts. His career took him across  four different countries, allowing him to learn valuable life lessons from the  diverse people he met along the way.

Upon retiring from football, Claude transitioned into the financial services  industry, becoming a Master General Agent with American Income Life. He  dedicated himself to educating families about the importance of financial  protection through life insurance. More than just selling policies, he trained  his agents to prioritize honesty and integrity, emphasizing that true success  was measured not by the number of closed accounts but by the number of  lives positively impacted. 

Claude’s passion for mentorship and youth development led him to co-found  Quest-Act in 2018. This nonprofit organization is centered on life skills  programs that empower young men and women to make positive choices.  The organization’s universal theme, “Choose to Win,” serves as a guiding  principle in helping youth build confidence, set goals, and strive for success.  In 2020, Claude expanded his impact by stepping into the role of Executive  Director for Glades Youth Connection, a faith-based organization dedicated  to mentoring youth through sports and civic engagement. Under his  leadership, the program has grown beyond its Florida roots, now making a  difference in the Washington, D.C. Metro area as well. 

Committed to community service, Claude finds fulfillment in volunteering,  coaching sports, and staying actively involved in his children’s lives. He has  been married to his wife for nearly two decades, and together, they are raising  two wonderful daughters. In his free time, he enjoys traveling and practicing  jujutsu, always seeking opportunities for personal growth and cultural  experiences. 

In July 2021, Claude took on a new challenge, becoming the owner of his  own State Farm agency. With this opportunity, he continues his mission of  educating families about financial security and helping them protect their  loved ones. His agency represents more than just insurance—it stands as a  pillar of support and empowerment for the community he proudly serves.

Pastor Wayne Douglas Monk Sr.
“Ephesians 4:11-12 NIV “ So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,  to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up”

Reverend Wayne Douglas Monk Sr., a native of Washington, D.C., was born on April 16, 1966, to the late Ruby Pearl Crawford and Jasper Taylor. Raised in Southeast D.C. alongside four brothers and one sister, Rev. Monk was known from a young age as a “heart winner” — a man who naturally drew people in with kindness, warmth, and authenticity.

Rev. Monk graduated from Frank W. Ballou High School in 1985 and pursued higher education at the University of West Virginia in Morgantown, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration in 1990. His early life was marked by perseverance, humility, and a desire to uplift those around him.

In 1996, Rev. Monk gave his life to Christ at New Covenant Baptist Church under the guidance of the late Apostle A. Norris Smith. That same year, he married the love of his life, Lisa L. Monk. His spiritual journey deepened through fervent prayer and service. A significant turning point came when he prayed for his father-in-law, then Chairman of the Deacon Board; shortly after, Rev. Monk was appointed to the NCBC Deacon Board in 1997.

Answering the call to ministry in 2000, Rev. Monk was licensed to preach under Apostle Smith and delivered his first sermon with conviction and humility. His dedication to ministry has included various roles, such as:

• Feeding the Homeless

• Organizing Coat Drives

• Teaching Sunday School and New Members Classes

• Serving as a church drummer and member of the Men’s Choir

• Leading  the Men’s Ministry

Rev. Monk furthered his theological education by earning a Degree in Theology from Southern Baptist College. In 2013, he was elevated in ministry and ordained in 2015 at New Dawn Baptist Church, where he faithfully served for many years.

Currently, Rev. Monk serves as the Assistant Pastor at Love of God Missionary Baptist Church in Scotland Neck, North Carolina. Alongside his wife, Elder Lisa L. Monk, he forms an anointed ministry team dedicated to transforming lives through the power of God.

Together, they are the proud parents of two children from their union, Ariana and Wayne Jr. In addition, they share the love and responsibility of raising six other children, and they have embraced and care deeply for dozens of adopted children of their friends.

Rev. Monk is a man devoted to God, steadfast in his love for his family, and committed to lifelong learning. He is widely known for preaching and teaching the Word of God with power, clarity, conviction, and an unwavering commitment to truth.

Above all, his life and ministry are guided by his personal motto, rooted in Scripture:
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” – Matthew 5:8
