Meet the Founder: Apostle-Designate Roy Hayes
Who is Apostle-Designate Roy Hayes?
Apostle-Designate and Pastor Roy is a native Floridian, born in Tarpon Springs FL and residing in Tampa FL for most of his adult life. Pastor Roy felt the call on his life to ministry, and in October 1987, he and his late wife Sandi began their ministerial journey by connecting with a growing ministry in the Tampa Bay Area, where they were assigned to preside over Victory Services. Later becoming an Associate Pastor on staff full-time, Pastor Roy was responsible for Pastor Care and Visitations.
In October of 1990, Pastor Roy and Pastor Sandi founded Anointed Word Church of Tampa Bay. The church continues to thrive and grow today, being a beacon of light and hope to members of the West Tampa Community.
In addition to serving as a local pastor, Pastor Roy is an author of several books, including What’s Happened to Me (adult and children’s editions), The Connection Between Your Faith and Thinking (available in both English and Spanish), and The Miracle That Can Be Heard. The major thrust of Pastor Roy’s teaching is changing one life by the renewing of one's mind. He practices this in his daily life and teaches that people are able to overcome any life challenge by changing the way they think.
Pastor Roy is married to Pastor Brenna Fields Hayes, a pastor at Anointed Word Church, a Christian author, speaker and transformational life coach.
