Welcome To My World

I'm Romell Parks-Weekly,
a Spiritual Leader.

My passion is to help Christians and the Church discover and tap into the potential of their divine identity, and of their commission to be light and salt in the world. This can only happen when we have the courage to ask tough questions, the commitment to rethink our embedded theologies, the audacity to speak truth to power, the passion to advocate for justice, and the crazy faith to move in the supernatural power of God! Everything I do has these goals in mind.

"When you know who you are, the whole universe opens up to you!"

About Me

I am the spiritual leader (traditionally: pastor) of The Sanctuary, a church located in my home of Saint Louis, MO. As a part of my apostolic work, I have also founded other ministries, listed below. I serve as the Director of Executive Affairs on the national board (Presidium) of the Church of the Everlasting Kingdom (COTEK), and as the National Apostle of the organization.

I received a Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree from Eden Theological Seminary, and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Theology (ThD) degree at Kairos University. During my nearly three decades in ministry, I have published multiple transformative books, and have had the privilege of being a nationally recognized leader in the affirming Christian community, having spoken at conferences and seminars in cities such as Dallas, TX; Nashville, TN; Phoenix, AZ; Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Tampa Bay, FL; Kansas, City, MO; and Saint Louis, MO.

The major themes of my ministry include the Kingdom of God, divine (supernatural) empowerment, affirmation (LGBTQ+, women), social justice and advocacy, theological imagination, and didactic preaching (I won't whoop and holler like most Black preachers, but you will walk away having learned something).
