Meet Our pastor
APOSTLE JUAN C. BEANE
SENIOR PASTOR & FOUNDER
A native of East St. Louis, IL; Apostle Beane was raised from the age 12 having a love for God. He was “raised in holiness” in a large family headed by a long line of missionaries, preachers and devout parents.
Apostle Beane holds his Alma Mater from the Historic Talladega College in Talladega, AL where he majored in Music Performance with a minor in Psychology and work for many years as the Admissions Counselor and PDSO (Primary Designated School Official) for SEVIS International Student.
After acknowledging a definitive Prophetic Mandate on his life, Apostle Juan Bean started seeking God’s Presence like never before through Holiness, Righteousness, Purity and Consecration which his mother, grandmother and other family members engrafted in him as a child. Through this movement, God begin to connect others to Juan’s life that will adhere to a new walk in God.
Immediately after, Juan engaged himself in the Prophetic teachings of Bishop Bill Hammond, Prophetess Juanita Bynum and Dr. Cindy Trimm where he received greater leadership training and an awesome Impartation of the word affirmed him as Prophet.
In the spring of 2011 while in prayer God spoke profoundly to Prophet Juan and said “Go Back Home. There are a people inside of a wicked people that are “My People”. Go and I will prepare the way.” From his obedience to God: Kingdom Refiners Prophetic Ministries was birthed. A Ministry where God brings Purity and the Prophetic flows in Clarity (Mal 3:1; Zechariah 13:9)
Apostle Beane remains faithful and obedient to the Assignment of the Lord on his life and continues to walk in his timely Prophetic Season. Through his Obedience, God Supernaturally CHANGED their LIVES
He has since preached wherever his Lord calls, which has taken him several different places in the United States. Wherever he goes, his ministry has been accompanied by reports of healings, miracles, and changed lives. Apostle Beane has influenced even more people from the pulpit, and in the inner-city. When he’s not preparing to Preach God’s Holy Word, he’s making music somewhere or ministering to those who are connected to him help others Declare CHANGE, Develop PURPOSE and Reach DESTINY.
