   Meet Our Staff

Elmer Warren - Senior Pastor/Founder  (Pictured with his dear friend, Kim)​

On April 19, 1997, Elmer was called by his Father in Heaven to confess his sins, receive his salvation and become one of God's children.  On April 20, 1997, he made a public declaration that he was a child of God and received God's Holy Spirit.  Elmer quickly realized what a wonderful gift he had received and decided to share his testimony with whoever would listen or not walk away.  Seven years later, God called Elmer to start what would become Master's Harbor Ministries.  Beginning as a simple minister of the word, in March 2010, Elmer received his ordination as an Independent Christian Pastor.  With the support of his staff and the active involvement of Master's Harbor members, (aka, fellow Servants), Master's Harbor has grown across 14 states, Jamaica, Canada and England.  Elmer believes it is not only important to believe in God, but to know God, have a close personal relationship with God and serve God through sharing our own personal testimonies and praying for others.  Elmer believes that by sharing our testimonies, we share the knowledge that God is very much alive and active in every life that invites Him in, and by praying for others, we are fulfilling Christ's desire for us to love others as we love ourselves.  His greatest desire is to grow God's kingdom; utilizing the gifts God has provided to him and his fellow Servants.  Elmer is currently retired and resides in Warrensburg, Missouri with his wife, Debbie.  He loves fishing, golfing and people.  At least until they get behind the wheel of a car.

​Chuck Porch - Pastor's Assistant​

Chuck was added to the Staff to update and maintain the devotional page for Pastor Elmer, however he quickly became an extremely valuable member of the team.  His ability to foresee the needs of the members and ways of meeting those needs has helped our Pastors and Ministers in designing programs that positively impact the lives of the Servants we serve.  Chuck is also not above rolling up his sleeves and making things happen, thereby freeing up other Staff members to focus on their assigned responsibilities.

Comment from the Pastor:  God has truly blessed me with such a wonderful group of people to serve with.  Each has a love for the Father that no man, nor even Satan himself, can challenge.  Their hard work and dedication to this ministry and it's members is priceless, even though they receive no compensation for their work.  I am fortunate to have them, not only as my coworkers in this wonderful ministry, but also as my friends...  Pastor Elmer
