Since answering the call to ministry in 1989, Bishop Anthony Cain has devoted his life to serving God and advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He currently serves as Lead Pastor of Keith Street Ministries and as Area Presbyter for Southeast Tennessee, where he provides spiritual leadership, mentorship, and support to pastors and churches throughout the region.
With a ministry career spanning over three decades, Bishop Cain has faithfully served in various capacities, including roles as a church planter, youth pastor, associate pastor, state youth director, youth camp director, and missions leader. He has also contributed his experience and insight as a committee member on multiple local, state, and national ministry boards.
In addition to his church leadership, Pastor Cain brings a rich background in family and child advocacy, having worked as a Clinical Supervisor with the largest child abuse council in North Georgia, and later serving for over 15 years as a school counselor. These roles have deeply informed his pastoral heart and sharpened his passion for strengthening families within the body of Christ.
