Rev. Victor D. Tate
A member of the first class (The U.N.I.T.Y Fellows) of the Maynard Jackson Youth Foundation Leadership Academy, Rev. Victor D. Tate is a native of Atlanta and a graduate from Samuel Howard Archer High School. Following in the footsteps of his mentor, the late Maynard Jackson, Victor then went on to graduate from Morehouse College. While at Morehouse, Victor acknowledged the call to gospel ministry and in May of 2004, Victor received his Masters of Divinity degree at Princeton Theological Seminary with areas of concentration in Pastoral Care/ Counseling and Christian Education. Also like his mentor, he became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Victor is currently the senior pastor of First Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. He has preached extensively in the U.S., Africa; Amman, Jordan; Eilat and Galilee, Israel. An emerging leader, Victor has dedicated much of his life to working with youth and young adults, helping them develop the necessary skills to be successful Christians and leaders in their own right. He serves as a permanent volunteer, instructor and member of the Board of Directors for the Maynard Jackson Youth Foundation, Inc.
