Husband, father, executive, founder and senior pastor. Answering the call to excellence within and beyond the church, Pastor Quinton has unapologetically carved his own lane for as a servant-leader.

As a relentless, compassionate, and gifted administrator, Pastor Quinton serves as a Vice President for Enrollment Management, Marketing & Communications at Fontbonne University, one of the nation’s storied liberal arts universities located in a picturesque suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.

Together, Pastor Quinton and Pastor Karen have followed God’s leading to launch Pillar of Fire Church in November 2021.

Before answering God’s call to ministry, Pastor Quinton served in various ministerial roles for nearly 18+ years, which began by default as a pastor’s son.

Pastor Quinton’s professional journey is marked by unprecedented ascension in higher education leadership. Throughout his 17+ year professional career, Pastor Quinton has held successive roles at a number of the nation’s top-ranked universities, including an appointment at a prestigious Ivy League university, which led to his current position as chief enrollment and marketing officer. Within each of these roles, Pastor Quinton was a champion and architect for policies that addressed the challenges in access to higher education for low-income communities, students of color, and students who would be the first in their families to obtain a bachelor’s degree.
