Since becoming the fifth pastor of Carolina Church in 1987, under his leadership, the ministry has experienced tremendous physical and spiritual growth.

The campus is located in Fort Washington, Maryland where the Family Life Center is in full operation. Pastor Moore is endeavoring to develop “The House,” a sustainable housing complex for persons with comorbid illnesses. Pastor Moore began his educational pursuits at Bishop College, now called Paul Quinn College, in Dallas, Texas. He is a graduate of the Harvard University Summer Institute for Leaders and the Oxford University Theological Foundation with a Master of Theology degree.

Lady Cynthia Moore

First Lady Cynthia Moore is a native of Dallas, Texas. She received her formal education in the Dallas Public School System. Upon graduating high school, she continued her educational pursuits at Houston Baptist College in Houston, Texas. Lady Cynthia faithfully serves as the First Lady of the Carolina Missionary Baptist Church, alongside her husband, Pastor Anthony E. Moore. Her southern charm is one of her greatest assets and is well suited and equally important, as our ministry is hinged upon southern grace and hospitality. Lady Cynthia has been instrumental in developing the Women's Ministry through the establishment of PMS Ministry (Positive Minded Sisters), championing AIDS Awareness in Prince George's County's Southern district, mentoring and etiquette development among preteens and teenage females, and furthering the educational efforts of children. She is passionately working alongside Pastor Moore to foster the vision of "The House," a home for persons living with chronic illness, which will become a thriving, positive response to social needs in the southern portion of Prince George's County, Maryland. Lady Cynthia served 32 years at the Municipal Employees Credit Union (MECU) as the Branch Manager Director of their location in Baltimore City, Maryland. While she was there, it was her passion and desire to see the youth of Baltimore thrive in financial literacy and job training. She implemented a program in two local high schools where they had credit union branches that the students managed themselves. Lady Cynthia is still committed to helping students find their way by serving at Lancaster Bible College of Greenbelt, Maryland, as the Enrollment Support Assistant. Lady Cynthia's strength lies in her unwavering and wholehearted support of her husband and Pastor, Anthony Moore. Together they are the proud parents of Sharnessa, Jamal, and Joshua; and they have three beautiful grandchildren, Jaylin, Jeniya, and Lyric.
