In August of 1982, Pastor Tyson moved to Indianapolis, Indiana to attend Aenon (Enon) Bible College to major in Theology.

While in her second year at Aenon Bible College. Pastor Tyson became acquainted with Bishop C. Shawn Tyson. On December 9, 1989, Evangelist Dawkins and Minister Tyson were united in Holy Matrimony. To this union was born one gifted son, Elder James E. Tyson II.

In July 2010 God called His servants; Bishop C. Shawn Tyson, Pastor Krista Tyson and Pastor James Tyson ll to relocate to Bishop C. Shawn Tyson’s family’s home church: Mt Calvary Pentecostal Church (Calvary Ministries International) in Youngstown, Ohio to carry on the assignment of his spiritual Father, The Honorable Bishop Norman L.

In October 2012, God sent Bishop C. Shawn Tyson, Pastor Krista Tyson, and Pastor James E, Tyson ll, Senior Pastor of Christ Church Apostolic, and his Wife, Desiree Tyson, back to Christ Church Apostolic to continue the Legacy of Bishop James E. Tyson I.

March 2020, Pastor Tyson began a Virtual End-Time Devotional and Prayer Broadcast entitled “Command Your Morning”, Monday thru Friday at 5 a.m. EST, to speak into the lives of the people of God and to give understanding and enlightenment to Seekers. Birthed from the Broadcast came, Seekers Gathering.

SEEKERS GATHERING IS an End-Time Encounter for those who are consumed with knowing and doing the Will of God in the earth, and in their life. Seekers possess a mandate to be instrumental in the fulfillment of the will of God in this season. So we Gather to Seek God in Prayer, Supplication, Intercession, Thanksgiving, Worship, and Praise. We will Receive, Reform, and be Refreshed to be Deployed.
