Pastor | Commissioner Albert L. Polk IV is a native son of South Bay, Florida, whose service bridges the Church, Community, and City. A servant leader, he moves between the pulpit, public service, and broadcasting with a commitment to strengthening the community that helped shape him.

He answered the call to preach in 2010 and has since served as Master of Ceremonies for more than 300 events and services. Ordained on March 22, 2015 at Miracle Temple Ministries in Belle Glade, he became Senior Pastor of Miracle By Faith Revival Center in 2020 — the church of his childhood — where the ministry has completed nearly $100,000 in facility renovations.

His broadcasting journey began in 2008. When gospel programming was removed from WSWN in 2016, he worked to keep the music and message alive, securing a dedicated gospel block in 2017 and seeing the station's full gospel format return in 2018. In 2020 the Gospel in the Glades Morning Show relaunched under its current name. Across 18 years on the air he has twice been named SFGMA #1 Gospel Radio Announcer of the Year (2011 and 2016).

Elected City Commissioner on March 22, 2023, he has helped secure more than $5 million toward major road reconstruction, participated in the passage of Senate Bills 10 and 90, and founded South Bay's historic 30-Day Black History Exhibition, which welcomed more than 600 attendees. His work was recognized nationally with the National League of Cities' Under 40 Impact Award.
