DWELLING PLACE CHURCH

PASTOR MAH'DEE NAYLOR, SR.

Brother Mah’dee Nail Mateen Naylor, Sr., born on September 5th, 1977, in Springfield, MA, to Leonard and Charlene Naylor, epitomizes a life dedicated to social justice and community service. Married to Evangelist LaTonia Monroe Naylor, they have one son and three daughters. 

Brother Mah’dee’s upbringing in a Christian household instilled in him a deep sense of prayer and faith. His journey with Christ began in 1999, marking a pivotal moment where he surrendered his life to God, tired of the ungodly path he once treaded. 

Diving into ministry, Brother Mah’dee’s commitment to social justice became evident through his involvement in various community initiatives. From organizing prayer sessions to reclaiming land for community use, his actions spoke volumes about his dedication to serving others. As he answered the call of a Deacon in 2001.

Whether civic or community-focused, he has worked tirelessly with his wife and led his children to engage in initiatives centered on education, entrepreneurship, and fostering healthy families. Their collective efforts have left a lasting impact on their community, empowering individuals to thrive and succeed. 

As his spiritual journey progressed, Deacon Naylor continued to serve his community relentlessly. Whether it was through teaching Sunday School, providing shelter and food to those in need, or driving the church van to ensure everyone could attend services, his compassion knew no bounds. He soon accepted the call of Minister in 2004.

Facing personal challenges only strengthened his resolve, relying on his faith to overcome obstacles. His passion for youth empowerment led him to assume leadership roles within the church’s youth department, where he created programs aimed at nurturing young minds and souls. 

Following his graduation from the Bible Counseling Theological Ministries Program Minister Naylor was ordained Elder and President of the Youth Ministry.

In 2017, his faithfulness brought forth another calling as Youth Pastor of Youthful Glory Ministries under the leadership of Bishop Leonard Naylor, Sr.



In 2023, after a period of consecration and divine confirmation, Youth Pastor Naylor answered the call to become a senior pastor.  He would start his own ministry in January 2024. 

On Sunday, February 25, 2024 Pastor Mah’dee Naylor, Sr. will be installed as the Pastor & Founder of Dwelling Place Church, Blessed Life Ministries.  He embraces his new role with courage and determination, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to building a community grounded in love, justice, and faith.
