Bishop Richard D. Howell, Jr. has been the Pastor of Shiloh Temple International Ministries since 1980, which is the same church his grandparents Reverend Howard and Sister Mattie Smith founded in Minneapolis in 1931. From his youth, he has served in just about every capacity in ministry on the local level, as the call of God was in his life to serve in the ministry years before his pastorate.
Bishop Howell holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Pastoral Studies from North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, and a Masters of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology from St. Thomas
