Philpart is a prolific expository preacher with a sincere passion for the Word of God and has actively served in the ministry for 32 years. He was ordained as a Gospel Minister in 1988, and in 1992, he was called to pastor New Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Pierce, Florida, where he served as pastor for 20 years.
