Meet our Founders
Rev. Dr. Harold B. Hayes, Jr. and
Rev. Dr. Kellie V. Hayes
Welcome to True Life! Meet Revs. Drs. Harold and Kellie Hayes, they are college sweethearts, having met at a house party on the beautiful campus of their home-by-the-sea, Hampton Institute (now, Hampton University) in Hampton, Va. By God’s grace they have become partners in life, love and ministry for forty plus years. Together they have raised 3 adult children, Shante, Shannon (Ajani) and Joshua, and are lovingly known as Babu (Swahili for grandfather) and GiGi to Sally, Tehila, Daria and Ajani 2 who join them in this latest spiritual adventure.
You can find them spending time together with their family and friends laughing and joking over a good meal, watching a good movie, a live concert, broadway show or play. You can also find them taking walks and communing with God through nature and one another. However, together and individually, nothing is more important than their time in the presence of God. It is in this place where they receive direction, strength, power and peace. It is in this place where the vision for True Life Worship began!
After having served the African Methodist Episcopal church as ordained clergy for a combined 69 years, the Spirit of God has retired and repositioned them for another calling. To launch a fresh ministry work existing to create a space and place for everyone to walk in purpose through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit by receiving the truth of God’s word, responding with worship and allowing our lives to be a witness that the same God who freed, changed and empowered our lives can do the same for others! Their life calling is to know Jesus and to make Him known, all for the glory of God.
The Word……..“Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word that constantly goes forth from God’s mouth.” Matthew 4:4 (TPT)
The Worship……."But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship God must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24 (NKJV)
The Witness……“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
Whether you are looking for a fresh start, to continue your journey of faith, or are just trying to figure out this thing called life…..you have a place and a home at True Life Worship. Welcome home family, let's journey together!

TRUE LIFE FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
“The person who loves their life and pampers themselves will miss true life! But the one who detaches their life from this world and abandons themselves to me, will find true life and enjoy it forever!” John 12:25 (TPT)
“24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. 25 For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover
true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep. 26 For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world —at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?” Matthew 16:24-25 (TPT)
“For the scripture tells us: Whoever wants to embrace true life and find beauty in each day 11 must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say. Always turn from what is wrong and cultivate what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it your prize. 12 For the eyes of the Lord Yahweh rest upon the godly, and God’s heart responds to their prayers. But God turns God’s back on those who practice evil.” I Peter 3:10-12
“Then as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being.” Proverbs 4:21-23 (TPT)
“Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor and authority! 2 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm. 3 Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. 4 And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory!"
Colossians 3:1-3 (TPT)
“No matter what, I will continue to hope and passionately cling to Christ, so that he will be openly revealed through me before everyone’s eyes. So I will not be ashamed! In my life or in my death, Christ will be magnified in me. 21 My true life is the Anointed One, and dying means gaining more of him.” Philippians 1:20-21 (TPT)
