Leadership

Dr. Diana M. Brewer is the Pastor of Anchored in Truth Ministries, located in Edwardsville, Illinois, a suburban community 25 miles northeast of St. Louis, Missouri.  

Since the age of thirteen, Dr. Brewer has dedicated her life to Christian Ministry. After graduating from Roosevelt University with her B.A. in English, she went on to earn a M.S. in Counseling from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. Up to this point, pastoring a church was inconceivable to her. Meanwhile, God was transforming her to become an adept pastor; taking her through many trying experiences that would greater prepare her for leading a body of Christian believers. Before founding Anchored in Truth Ministries, Dr. Brewer served in numerous church administrative and evangelical positions.

In 1985, God led Dr. Brewer and her husband the late Deacon Sherman R. Brewer to Bethesda Church of the Apostolic Faith where her spiritual growth proliferated tremendously. It was during this period that Dr. Brewer was called to become a pastor. After accepting the call on her life, she started weekly Bible studies in her home that included only her husband, two of her children, and a family friend. In virtue of her leap of faith, the word began to spread around the St. Louis area. As a result, many people began a relationship with the Lord, accepted salvation, and became faithful members of her ministry.
 
In December 1997 God put it on her heart to have Sunday morning service in their home, in which her son Jason C. Brewer (now a Bishop and pastor of King of Kings Christian Assembly in Springfield, IL) was the speaker.  
 
In January 1998, Dr. Brewer along with her husband Sherman, sons Jason (Deanna) and Jordan and daughter Traci officially established Anchored in Truth Ministries.  In 1999, Dr. Brewer relocated Anchored in Truth Ministries from a ballet studio with a handful of members, to a nearly 7,000 sq. ft. facility with over 100 congregants.

Dr. Brewer is committed to proclaiming the gospel locally, nationally and world-wide. Her messages are thought-provoking, challenging, and filled with love. Teaching the unadulterated word of God causes listeners to look deep within their hearts and move to higher levels in Christ.  Her decades of commitment to teaching in the church and in the classroom; being a leader of leaders; and her tireless dedication to soul-winning; earned her distinct recognition when an honorary Doctorate of Theology degree was conferred on her in July of 2005 by the Christ Apostolic Christian College.
