MEET THE JAMES FAMILY

Pastor Dwight and his wife, Krystal, moved to the Tampa Bay Area in 2019 after being led by God to start Total Life Church. Making such a move was a huge step in faith as they left family and loved ones in California to answer the call of God in their lives to work in the ministry.

In April 2023, Total Life Church was launched in the Southshore Area to spread the love of Jesus in that community and surrounding areas. Pastor Dwight and Krystal have a heart for families and a genuine love for people. Pastor Dwight is passionate about teaching the Bible in an easy, humorous, and practical way. With the Southshore Area growing daily, Pastor Dwight and Krystal aim to create a safe place for people to have a fresh start, build relationships, and grow closer to God.

Pastor Dwight obtained his Doctorate in Strategic Leadership from Regent University. Before this, he earned a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Divinity from Oral Roberts University. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Finance from California State University, Fullerton.

Krystal completed a Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Oral Roberts University. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Counseling from Florida Christian College. Krystal is also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida.

Pastor Dwight and Krystal met during their studies at Oral Roberts University, and they have been married since November 2009. They have two beautiful daughters, Destini (2014) and Faith (2020).
