Guest Speakers

Dr. Juliet S. McBride received the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior at the tender age of ten. Dr. McBride’s spiritual instruction began under the guidance of her grandmother, Evangelist Anna Mae Howell, and subsequently, through the bold proclamation of the Word of God, she felt the call to enter the ministry.  Dr. McBride realized that to properly proclaim God’s Word, with clarity and contextual integrity, further training was needed, so she enrolled in the Christian Training Center of the Soul Saving Station NYC at the age of thirteen.

Dr. McBride’s spiritual development continued under the tutelage and mentorship of the late Bishop Alvin L. Tate, of the Soul Saving Station. As her love and service to God grew over the years, Dr. McBride became a Sunday School teacher for preschoolers, co-leader of the women’s fellowship, and co-leader of the couples’ ministry alongside her husband.

In 1994, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, Dr. McBride and her husband were led to join the Elim International Fellowship in Brooklyn, New York, under the leadership of the late Archbishop Wilbert S. McKinley. Dr. McBride served on the pastoral staff and hospitality committee.  In April 2000, his Eminence commissioned Dr. McBride and her husband to edify the body of Christ and the world, both internationally and globally, with the Word of God.

 For the next two years, Dr. McBride, along with her husband, Dr. Glenn A. McBride Sr., taught a weekly Bible study titled “The Biblical Perspective.” It was from this Bible study that Adonai Community Tabernacle, a nondenominational church, boldly proclaimed the Word of God from December 2002 until April 2018.

Dr. McBride’s commitment to God and her deep love for teaching God’s Word to all people are the driving forces in her life. She constantly seeks to strengthen her gifts through prayer, fasting, and diligent study in order that the message is rewarding, relevant, refreshing, and uplifting of Christ and Christendom.

Dr. McBride and her husband have been pastoring for 21 years; 16 of those years, they pastored a church in Bay Shore, LI, named Adonai Christian Tabernacle, which mentored leaders and disciples for the kingdom of God.

In 2018, Dr. McBride, along with her husband, founded a new international and global outreach organization called McBride Ministries, which has been recognized by the United Nations. This ministry is designed to strengthen the body of Christ through sound biblical preaching, teaching, and conference workshops for men, women, singles, families, and married couples.
