Apostle Fred D. Gooden III is Senior Pastor of Unity Charlotte International in the beautiful city of Charlotte NC and is a native of Jacksonville FL. He is the husband of Jameliah Gooden and they both together have eight children. After enduring many dark paths that come with the street life, Apostle Fred gave his life to Christ in March of 1997. The street life that he survived inspired him to change the life of those still living it. He became an evangelist spreading the word of God in his neighborhood.

He quickly grew in the ranks of ministry becoming a minister a year after his conversion. In 2008, he answered the call to Pastor. The following year, he would be called to oversee churches as an Apostle. From there he created his online platform "Gods Man on Deck" dedicated to building men through intellectual and inspiring conversations.

With every endeavor, Apostle Fred is enlightening, empowering, and encouraging audiences nationwide.
