Pastor Debra Smalls is the Co-founder and Senior Pastor of Great Deliverance Ministry, which was established in 1991 under the leadership of the late, great Bishop Matthew Smalls Sr. Bishop faithfully served in Great Deliverance from 1991 until his heavenly departure, passing on the baton to our Co-founder and Senior Pastor, Debra Smalls.

Pastor Debra began her ministry journey years ago, initially serving as a church missionary from 1981 to 1984 in the Apostolic field before transitioning to the field of Evangelism from 1985 to 1990, ultimately becoming a co-founder of Great Deliverance Ministry. Throughout her ministry, Pastor Debra has consistently demonstrated a passionate commitment to serving God and assisting others.

She also took on the role of family ministry coordinator for the SC Inmate Fellowship Program. In this capacity, she faithfully ensured that inmates remained connected with their families through various programs designed to support families coping with the challenges of having a loved one incarcerated. Through prayer, hard work, and the grace of God, the program has achieved remarkable success to this day.

Pastor Debra has also been actively involved in various other ministry fields, including setting up youth programs and establishing early childhood education programs, where she dedicated over 20 years of her service. She remains dedicated to diligently serving our communities by acting as a liaison and bridging the gap between the underprivileged and our community leaders. As the Senior Pastor of Great Deliverance Ministry, she will continue her tireless work in this endeavor.
