Delton Ellis is the new interim pastor of Mt Tabor Church

Mt Tabor Church has appointed Bishop Delton Ellis as its interim pastor following a shakeup in the administrative team when Rickeno Moncur resigned after one year as senior pastor of the mega-church.

Bishop Delton the brother of the church’s founder Bishop Neil Ellis has served on the church’s pastoral team but was never up for the post as senior pastor of the church.

Since Moncur’s surprise resignation more than three weeks ago, Mt Tabor Church was without a senior pastor as the church pondered its next move.

Bishop Delton was appointed last Sunday and Kenneth Romer was appointed its First Assistant Pastor.

Bishop Delton has a level of pastoral experience, serving as Provincial leader in Neil Ellis’ global ministry, Global United Fellowship.

Mt Tabor announced it in a social media post, not before members of the church circulated the church’s quiet announcement.

Its last week broadcast ended before Neil Ellis made the announcement.

Before Moncur’s appointment, Bishop Neil Ellis sought to appoint Bahamian US-based Pastor Dario Carey to the church’s top post but that fell through when Bishop Neil reneged on his promise and suggested that God told him not to do so anymore.

Carey, his wife and children then moved back to New Orleans, and Bishop Neil then appointed Moncur to the position.

The fiery pastor changed the dynamic of Mt Tabor, helping to rebrand the church and increasing its membership.

Since he left and restarted his ministry, the membership at Mt Tabor has dropped and the church is attempting to regain its footing.

It remains to be seen how long Bishop Delton will serve as interim pastor, but it is hoped he provides the church with some stability before the church settles on its next senior pastor.
