Bishop
Ernest E. Carradine Sr.
Through his local church and international ministry, Bishop Ernest Carradine has set in motion a Kingdom Agenda philosophy of ministry that teaches God’s comprehensive rule over every area of life—demonstrated through the individual, family, church, and community.
He is the Founder and Senior Pastor of International Harvest Christian Fellowship Church, located in the Northwest Fort Worth/Saginaw area, and serves as overseer of several churches across the nation. With over 40 years of ministry experience, Bishop Carradine has carried the Kingdom message throughout the world, ministering in places such as Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Guam, the Netherlands, Iceland, Austria, and India.
Bishop Carradine’s greatest attribute is his servant’s heart, developed and cultivated during his 26 years of service in the United States Air Force. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland, a Master’s degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma, and a Master of Divinity degree from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX. He is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Leadership at Dallas Baptist University.
He has been married to his beautiful bride, Brenda, for over 40 years. Together, they are the proud parents of five adult children and the grandparents of eight grandchildren. Their heart’s desire is to see the Body of Christ walk in godly maturity according to Ephesians 4:12–13, continually pushing God’s Kingdom agenda throughout the world.
