Pastor's Bio
Charles Kevin Mitchell is a Miami native who was educated in the Miami-Dade Public School

Always active in ministry, Rev. Mitchell was elevated in leadership at Friendship by Rev. Dr.
Gaston E. Smith and served as his assistant until he was called as Pastor of True Vine MBC in
2006. Since assuming the mantle of leadership, Rev. Mitchell has served faithfully and
effectively. He has led the church in several projects that have upgraded the condition of our
campus, in addition to providing the vision for the addition of several new ministries and the
revitalization of several existing ministries.
Reverend Mitchell has a civic and kingdom-minded agenda and as a result, he has affiliated
himself with several organizations that work to advance the cause in these areas of service. He
is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., a lifetime member of the N.A.A.C.P., and he
serves as a Chaplain for the City of Opa Locka Police Department to name a few.
Reverend Mitchell has been married for 26 years to the former Ms. Patricia Veal. God has
blessed them with two wonderful children: Charles K. Mitchell, III, and Michele Britney
Mitchell. His favorite scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and
lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy
paths.” His personal motto is taken from Colossians 3:23, “And whatsoever ye do, do it
heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward
of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
