LTG Boykin began his military career in 1971 when he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Infantry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). In his thirty-six years in the Army, he served for more than 24 years in Joint Special Operations, with a command at every level. He was one of the original members of the US Army's Delta Force and was privileged to ultimately command these elite warriors in combat operations. He participated in clandestine operations around the world, beginning with Desert One, the failed 1979 mission to rescue American hostages held in Iran after the Islamic revolution that toppled the shah. He participated in the invasions of Grenada and Panama in 1983 and 1989 respectively, participated in the capture of Manuel Noriega, and headed the chase to capture Colombian drug czar Pablo Escobar in 1992. In 1993, he clashed with Muslim warlord Osman Atto in Somalia, chronicled in the film Black Hawk Down. LTG Boykin ultimately served as the Commander of the US Army Special Forces Command and as the Commandant of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. LTG Boykin also served six years in Intelligence (two with the CIA) and was a member of the National Security Policy Coordinating Committee for Terrorism and Coordinating Sub-Group for Homeland Security. His memoir, Never Surrender: A Soldier’s Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom, was released in 2008. He has also authored three novels, Danger Close, Kiloton Threat, and The Coalition. LTG Boykin’s latest book, The Warrior’s Soul, was co-authored with Vietnam era 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Officer, Dr. Stu Weber. LTG Boykin continues to support our military and promote a strong national defense as a board member with Freedom Alliance. He also serves as Chaplain for the Denver Chapter of Healing Waters, a wounded warriors’ program.
His most important mission is as an ordained minister and Founder/President of Kingdom Warriors, a non-profit ministry that encourages Christians to be bold in their faith. He and his wife, Ashley, have five children and six grandchildren.

He pastored a church and practiced law for 15 years in Boston, and was an adjunct professor at Northeastern University and Strayer University. He is the Founder of The Called Church headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia and S.T.A.N.D. – Staying True to America’s National Destiny, a national nonprofit organization with a mission to bring Americans together across racial and cultural lines to preserve our Judeo- Christian values and heritage. Through his church, he and his wife, Theodora, founded the Chesapeake Martin Luther King Leadership Breakfast and the William Jackson Youth Center.
He is the host of “The Awakening” a national radio talk show on American Family Radio, with 200 radio stations and live streamed around the world. He is the author of two books: “Ten Commandments to an Extraordinary Life” and “12 Principles to Make Your Life Extraordinary.”
Bishop Jackson has been a candidate for U.S. Senate and the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor of Virginia. He and his wife, Theodora, have been married for 50 years, have 3 children and reside in Suffolk, Virginia.

He has authored and co-authored over 40 books, videos, and training courses including Liberating the Nations and America's Providential History. His recent project, Monumental: Restoring America as the Land of Liberty, was done in conjunction with Kirk Cameron as a follow-up course to Cameron’s Monumental film. Stephen’s books and writings have been translated into 18 languages and distributed to more than one million people. McDowell holds a master’s degree in geophysics, served for several years as a pastor, and has been an adjunct professor at Regent University. Stephen and his wife Beth live in Charlottesville, Virginia, and have four children and six grandchildren.

Chad's deepest passion and desire in life is to communicate the life-changing message of the Gospel by drawing from his experiences in the SEAL Teams on and off the battlefield, to convey overcoming a lack of purpose, hope and meaninglessness. Chad has a unique ability of passing on to others a deeper understanding and appreciation for our soldiers who have shed their blood for our earthly freedom; and most of all, the Savior who shed His blood for our eternal freedom.

Layz S Ranch, together with Calvary Chapel Fluvanna, presents a Pastor's Summit this June.
A movement of God is needed in our churches. We must stand for the Word of God and believe that the Old & New Testaments contain the entire word of God and should be the final authority for faith and life. The hope is that God will use this summit to equip and refresh pastors to send them back to their church renewed in the Spirit of God to further His work.
See below for an inspiring line-up of speakers with more to be announced soon! Continental breakfast and lunch provided.
