2819 Church Pastor Joins Pro-Trump Preacher’s Youth Conference

Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell, founder of Atlanta’s 2819 Church, has significantly elevated his standing within evangelical Christianity by appearing as a featured speaker at Forward Conference 2026. This event, hosted by Jentezen Franklin, a pastor known for his close ties to former President Donald Trump, positions Mitchell alongside influential leaders and signals his growing acceptance within a movement that often functions as an informal credentialing system. Mitchell, a millennial pastor who emphasizes personal holiness over traditional Black church social justice, now shares a platform that expands his national reach.
