Special Guest Dean Sikes | Covenant Church
Tune into our previously recorded Midweek Service with our Special Guest: Dean Sikes.
Dean Sikes was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is the oldest of two children. Raised in a Christian family, he came to know Jesus at the young age of 7 years old.
Not long after his 15th birthday, however, he was sexually abused. And throughout the remainder of his teenage years, Dean lived a very fake, painful, and oftentimes, unauthentic life. By the time he turned 21, his life was spiraling out of control. Lie after lie and bad choice after bad choice catapulted Dean into a defining moment where he had a very personal encounter with the Holy Spirit.
This defining moment was used by the Lord to help navigate him into fulltime ministry where he served Grammy-award winning Christian Artist Phil Driscoll. During his time with Phil’s ministry, he coordinated and road-managed over 600 ministry events around the globe. In December of 1992, at the direction of the Lord, Dean resigned from Phil’s ministry and the next month, launched his ministry where today, he continues to travel across America and into nations of the world, freely ministering words of hope to teenagers in high schools and Teen Challenge Centers.
During the first decade of service, Dean ministered to 100,000 students each year, reaching one million students reached by the end of 2002.
To date, Dean has now spoken at over 3,600 events, ministered to over 2.6 million teens, and seen over 288,000 students give their hearts to the Lord. In addition to the road outreach, he has written over thirty books including his autobiography, “ACCEPTED …MY JOURNEY©” and, he hosts YOU MATTER TELEVISION with DEAN SIKES- a national, weekly television broadcast that airs on multiple networks.
Dean and Lori were married in May of 1996 and for now over 25 years, their marriage has been a living testimony of the goodness of God. They have three adult children and four dogs. Although their ministry schedule continues to take them into multiple cities each week, Dean and Lori continue to make their home in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
