OUR PASTORS
Great Day Ministries was founded by The Late Elder David W. Jenkins in 1999 by hosting Bible Study in his home. Shortly after, Great Day moved to the basement of Elder Polnitz’ home before branching to the County Lake Firehouse in Browns Mills, NJ. After the death of Pastor Jenkins, Elder Polnitz was installed as Senior Pastor in February of 2002. After years of prayer and planning Great Day Ministries found their home in Mount Laurel, NJ where we continue to spread the infallible written Word of God.
Pastor Dexter Polnitz and Evangelist Polnitz have committed their lives to leading a sanctuary and community of broken, lost, and unique people of God. With a professional background in Bible Theology and Christian Counseling, Pastor Polnitz truly has a gift of reaching people through transformational teaching.
Pastor Dexter released his first book in 2020 titled The Eve Effect and is currently working on his second book. In the same year, Dexter started Nexus Biblical Institute, an evangelical school dedicated to higher learning of biblical teaching.
Evangelist Polnitz uses her creative mind to lead our Warrior Women United Ministry and is also the founder of Gems and Pearls Mentoring Program. She loves to work with her hands creating crafts and doing hair as a licensed cosmetologist.
Pastor and Evangelist Polnitz are high school sweethearts and are the parents to four children; Takia, Tatiana, Deshawn, and Deamon.
