Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr. stands among a generation of leaders who understand that faith must move beyond the sanctuary and into the streets. A visionary pastor, civic advocate, historian, publisher, and movement-builder, his life’s work reflects a sustained commitment to spiritual empowerment, community restoration, and historic preservation in Fort Worth, Texas.


A graduate of the University of North Texas School of Community Service, Pastor Tatum has combined academic preparation with pastoral calling to build a ministry model rooted in service, strategy, and social impact. As Senior Pastor of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Worth’s historic 76104 community and President of the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas, he has positioned the church as more than a worship center—it is a command center for faith-driven transformation.


Under his leadership, New Mount Rose has become a dynamic hub of holistic ministry—bridging faith, literacy advancement, economic development, workforce innovation, youth empowerment, and cultural preservation. His leadership philosophy—“Church to the Streets: Love in Motion. Put Faith to Work.”—captures his conviction that ministry must be measurable in impact as well as inspirational in message. Grounded in James 2:17, he teaches that faith without works is dead, and he has structured his life accordingly.


Since 2021, Pastor Tatum has been recognized by Fort Worth, Inc. magazine as one of the most influential leaders in Fort Worth for six consecutive years—an affirmation of his sustained influence across faith, civic, business, and cultural sectors. Yet his influence is not built on position alone, but on presence. He is known for showing up—at schools, cemeteries, city halls, disaster sites, and neighborhood gatherings—wherever leadership and advocacy are required.



Pastor Tatum has spearheaded transformative initiatives designed to create tangible opportunity. Through programs such as Skills City USA and Inner City Coffee Exchange, he has partnered with Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County to develop pathways for inner-city youth and adults to gain marketable skills in film production, specialty coffee entrepreneurship, and community emergency response and recovery employment. His workforce model integrates dignity, discipline, and development—preparing individuals not merely for jobs, but for purpose.


As Publisher of Black Texans, Inc., Pastor Tatum has emerged as a respected voice in historical preservation and narrative restoration. He has intentionally elevated the stories of historically overlooked African American pioneers, including Negro League legends from Fort Worth and Buffalo Soldiers laid to rest at New Trinity Cemetery. Through signature exhibitions such as Hidden Crowns of Cowtown and Trilogy of Her Story, he has ensured that local history is not forgotten but honored, studied, and celebrated. His work reclaims buried stories and transforms forgotten ground into sacred memory.


His advocacy extends well beyond programming. Pastor Tatum is a consistent and courageous voice for justice, educational equity, economic mobility, and historical preservation. He has organized commemorative tributes, civic dialogues, literacy academies, and faith-based initiatives that unite clergy, elected officials, educators, business leaders, and grassroots organizers around common purpose. His leadership style reflects both prophetic clarity and pastoral compassion.


At the heart of his service is a simple but profound belief: communities rise when dignity is restored, history is remembered, and faith is activated. He does not separate ministry from movement, nor pulpit from public square. Instead, he weaves them together in a model of leadership that is both spiritual and strategic.


Pastor Tatum’s nomination for the Community Service Award during the 50th Founders Day Luncheon of the Greater Fort Worth Area Club of the Negro Business & Professional Women’s Club recognizes more than accomplishment—it recognizes consistency. It honors a body of work that has strengthened families, uplifted neighborhoods, empowered youth, preserved heritage, and built bridges across Fort Worth.


Through faith, focus, discipline, and fearless service, Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr. continues to shape a legacy that reaches beyond the present moment and impacts generations to come.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...
