Wooden Sr. Apostle Quick can be seen on WLOS every Sunday morning on The Promised Place Broadcast – the most watched Christian Broadcast in Upstate, SC – as well as weekly on the NOW network.

In 2008, to increase home ownership and provide a safe environment for families and their children, he successfully undertook the development of Trinity Gates subdivision a 47-home neighborhood adjoining the Promised Land Church.

Since August 2015, he leads Legacy Christian School where his love for children and vision for excellence can be seen every day. His goal is for Legacy Christian School to be the premiere Christian Preschool and Elementary School in the Upstate.

Apostle Quick has suffered persecution and prosecution for his unwavering faith, uncompromising stance on the Biblical Worldview, and service to mankind. In 2020 he received the vision for Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions (CFADD.org), a Non-profit 501C3 organization. CFADD’s mission is to influence the building and sustaining of strong families and strong generational heritages by promoting a Biblical worldview and God-first lifestyle. CFADD is growing and impacting the nation for Christ.
