Our Pastors
Dr. Robert Canady, III
Senior Pastor
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
Pastor Canady is a teacher, leader and living example for the work of our Lord and Liberator, Jesus Christ. He is gifted with passion and compassion to minister hope to the hopeless, healing to the hurting, and help to the helpless. In June 2003, Pastor Canady became the Senior Pastor of All Nations Fellowship in Garland, Texas. Under his leadership the church membership has grown from 12 members to over 600.
Pastor Canady is a man after God’s heart and truly has a heart for God’s people. He works unselfishly as an active and supportive member of the community taking the gospel outside of the walls of the church. With a background in law enforcement, it is fitting that he now serves as the Chaplain of the Dallas County Constable Precinct 2. He also partners with various organizations such as the Garland, Mesquite, and Sunnyvale ISDs, and the Garland, Mesquite, and Dallas Police Departments. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Next Level Life, Inc., a non-profit organization that teaches life skills to youth. He counsels and mentors youth, particularly young athletes, teaching them how to master the “game” of life with Jesus Christ. He is affectionately known as "the Gym Pastor" as he shares Christ with everyone he meets.
He is a native Dallasite, graduating from David W. Carter High School. He matriculated at Texas Tech University before returning to Dallas after a football injury. He earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Organizational Management from Paul Quinn College. He earned his Master of Divinity Degree from Trinity Theological Seminary where he also received an Honorary Doctorate of Ministry.
Pastor Canady, a second-generation preacher, is married to Pastor Stephanie Canady, and is the blessed father of RJ, Najaa, and Nicolette.
