A native son of South Bay. A voice of encouragement on the air. A servant in the church, the community and City Hall.

Where the Glades meets the Gospel

Faith. People. Purpose.

One calling, many places to serve

Pastor Polk's roots are in South Bay, Florida. His work bridges the church, the community and the city. He serves as Senior Pastor of Miracle By Faith Revival Center, a City Commissioner in South Bay, and host of the Gospel in the Glades Morning Show on WSWN 900 AM / 107.1 FM.

Whether he is preaching, sharing local information or listening to a resident's concerns, the thread is the same: strengthening the community that helped shape him.

Pastor Polk has served in pastoral ministry since 2015 and became Senior Pastor of Miracle By Faith Revival Center in 2020, the church that was part of his spiritual foundation from childhood.

His service extends beyond the church. As a City Commissioner in South Bay, he works in public service while remaining actively involved in community outreach and engagement throughout the Glades.

With 18 years in broadcasting, he brings that same sense of service to the Gospel in the Glades Morning Show. Weekdays from 7:30 to 10:00 AM Eastern on WSWN 900 AM / 107.1 FM, the show connects Gospel encouragement with the news, needs and voices of the community. Its reach extends across 18 South Florida counties, the Bahamas and worldwide online.

His work also reaches the next generation of leaders. As the author of Platforms, Podiums & Pulpits and Dean of Kingdom MC Academy, Pastor Polk shares practical lessons in how to prepare, honor others and lead a program with confidence without making it about yourself.

The journey

A life rooted in service

Calling

Answered the call to preach in 2010, beginning a life of service rooted in faith, people, and community. Since then, he has served as Master of Ceremonies for more than 300 events and services, including funerals, gospel concerts, church gatherings, and community occasions throughout the region.

Pastorate

Ordained as a pastor on March 22, 2015, at Miracle Temple Ministries in Belle Glade. In 2020, he became Senior Pastor of Miracle By Faith Revival Center, the church where he was raised. Under his leadership, the ministry has completed nearly $100,000 in facility renovations while continuing its commitment to serving people both inside and outside the church.

Airwaves

His journey in radio began in 2008, and the airwaves have remained an important part of his ministry and community service ever since. When gospel programming was removed from WSWN in 2016, he worked to help keep the music and message alive, securing a dedicated gospel block in 2017 and witnessing the station's full gospel format return in 2018.

In 2020, the Gospel in the Glades Morning Show was relaunched under its current name and has grown into a trusted source for education, information, inspiration, and local connection. Today, the program reaches listeners throughout 18 South Florida counties, the Bahamas, and worldwide online. Across 18 years in broadcasting, he has twice been recognized as the SFGMA #1 Gospel Radio Announcer of the Year, receiving the honor in 2011 and 2016.

Public Office

Elected City Commissioner on March 22, 2023, he entered public office with a commitment to be accessible, accountable, and active. During his service, he has worked to fulfill the commitments made to residents, including helping secure more than $5 million toward major road reconstruction and advocating for improvements throughout the city.

His public service has also included involvement in the passage of Senate Bills 10 and 90 and the founding of South Bay's historic 30-Day Black History Exhibition. The initiative welcomed more than 600 attendees, brought visitors to South Bay, and helped showcase the history and people of the community. His work was recognized nationally with the National League of Cities' Under 40 Impact Award.

Through the pulpit, airwaves, and public service, his mission remains the same: serve people, strengthen community, and use every platform to make a difference.

The Next Generation

Pastor Polk is the author of Platforms, Podiums & Pulpits, a practical guide to serving as a Master of Ceremonies. That work is now the foundation of Kingdom MC Academy, where he serves as the Dean.

Through 41 modules, practical scenarios, vocabulary practice and knowledge checks, the academy brings his lessons on preparation, protocol, timing and spiritual responsibility into an interactive training manual. Its purpose is not simply to help someone hold a microphone. It is to help them serve the room, honor leadership and handle the unexpected with care.

“I believe God. And because I believe God, I believe my faith has to work beyond Sunday morning. It has to show up in the church, in the community, on the airwaves, and at City Hall. Wherever God gives me an opportunity to serve people, I believe that becomes part of the assignment.”
