Short Bio - Introduction
Gabriel Montel Thornton
Growing up outside church, I found my way alone as a teenager. Discovering Jesus transformed my life, and God bestowed a prophetic gift upon me. Despite this, I never felt compelled to pursue ministry.
My journey shifted towards entrepreneurship. I founded a marketing agency, collaborating with numerous business owners. The world of business became my canvas, and success followed. However, a deeper calling tugged at my heart.
Everything changed when I met Crystal. Her presence ignited a passion for ministry within me. The divine encounter led me to reevaluate my path. Now, my entrepreneurial spirit merges with a newfound purpose — to serve God and others in a ministry that combines faith and business.
This unexpected twist in my life's narrative reflects the profound impact of faith and the transformative power of divine connections.
Short Bio - Introduction
Crystal Nicole Thornton
In the shadows of a life without church, I stumbled through darkness — battling alcohol, grappling with depression, and seeking solace in fleeting moments. God's voice shattered the silence at "Forward Conference," leading me to pack my bags and relocate to Georgia for ministry school.
Amid textbooks and prayers, the Holy Spirit whispered a destiny — to birth a church that would ripple into eternity. From that pivotal moment, every sunrise became a canvas for self-transformation dedicated to God's plan.
The journey unfolded, marking milestones of triumph over personal struggles. Graduating from ministry school wasn't just an academic achievement; it was a testament to God's redemptive power. Love blossomed, and I stood at an altar, exchanging vows with my best friend. Soon, the pitter-patter of tiny feet echoed, as our first child entered the world.
Psalm 56 Ministries, born from the depths of my journey, is but a glimpse of the grand tapestry God continues to weave. The pages of this story are still turning, and the chapters yet to unfold promise a narrative of faith, family, and the relentless pursuit of God's calling.

BTW, DO YOU NEED PRAYER? WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!
Prayer is a sacred connection, like having a heart-to-heart with our Divine Friend, Jesus. It brings comfort, courage, and wisdom from above. When we lift our fellow believers in prayer, we're creating a beautiful circle of love, sharing God's blessings and showing that we care deeply. It's a heavenly way of extending kindness and embodying the spirit of Christ, reminding us that we're all God's family on this journey of faith together.
What We Believe:
The Word of God
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
Deuteronomy 4:1-2, Psalm 119:11, 89, 105 Isaiah 40:8 ,Matthew 22:29, John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17, Romans 15:4 2, Timothy 3:15-17, Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12, 1 Peter 1:25 2, Peter 3:16
The Father
God the Father is the creator and sustainer of all things, and He created the universe in love. He created man in His own image for fellowship and called man back to Himself through Christ after the rebellion and fall of man.
The Son
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.
The Helper
The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. It is also a step of obedience based on God’s commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to “fulfill all righteousness.
Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
We believe the Holy Spirit gives gifts to every believer to be used for the building up of the body of Christ. These gifts are to be exercised according to biblical guidelines and priorities. We believe the Holy Spirit is sovereign and may give any gifts He wants at any time He wants and is still exercising his gifts to the body of Christ today.
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish his authority on earth. This will occur at a time undisclosed by scripture. So, we live everyday in expectation of Christ’s return.
