Pastor Christopher Drayton Jr.

When evening comes and the shadows fail and the one, we love must answer the call, Lord give us strength in our hearts to say “The Master’s will be done today.”

Christopher Drayton affectionately known as Rev. Drayton by family, friends, and love ones was the fifth child born to the union of the late Christopher and Minnie Sue Jackson Drayton on March 3, 1940. He was educated on the public school system at Whittemore in Conway, South Carolina.

Pastor Drayton was a hardworking man with a go getter’s heart. He was a self-made man with an entrepreneur spirit. He owned and operated several businesses in Miami before deciding to relocate to the Bronx, New York where he started Chris & Son Rubbish Removal Service and the proud owner of two parking lots. While in New York he founded the church: Church of Whosoever Will Let Them Come to Christ in the Bronx, NY. He later retired and moved back to Miami, Florida where he founded the church of God’s Little Flock, while managing several real estate properties. He loved the Lord and he loved the church!
