Pastor, Husband, Father, National Evangelist, and Teacher was born in Center, Texas January 2, 1961 to the proud parents of Joe Mitchell and Jessie M. Garrett. His mother became a single parent at an early age in his life. He was reared by a great group of women that helped his mother rear his two siblings and his father younger sister and brother when their mother died. His mother is an angel to raise her Mother in-law two younger children. He often remembers his four Grandmothers who helped spoil him.

 Prince Garrett became interested in the word of God during some trying times in his youth. He was involved into a lot of criminal activities that got him put in jail. During this era of his life he began to seek for some meaning in life. He began to see that he wasn’t going anywhere. Prince Garrett drop out of school in 1979 during his senior year because of drugs and worldly influence in his life. The journey that he was on kept him sinking into deeper trouble. Often, he would think on God letting him die from a tragedy of something and he would go to hell as the Baptist preacher proclaimed when he attended church. This fear of God caused him to search for answers within his life. What was the meaning of life? Why was he born? These questions puzzle him. After, going to jail again and looking at those four walls he began to pray as he was taught too by his Mother.  “The prayer he prayed was lord if you would help me out of this trouble this time I would become a changed man.”  

Prince Garrett was led to the Lord by a visiting preacher during an outdoors revival under a tent. This event took place in his life in 1982. Soon after his conversion immediately he began to pray for a strong willed wife to help meet his destiny in life. He knew he needed someone that was compatible to his strong will. For a solid year the lord purged him from all his past sins and his court case was thrown out. He continued to pray and confess a wife.  Graciously, the lord heard his prayers during a church conference in Center, Texas where many other states delegate attended. He met his soul mate Ethel M. Johnson Garrett from McLain, Ms. The union was such a God sent, they both knew that the timing was right for the both of them, so the union took place after two months of preparation on August 11, 1984. In this union they are the proud parents of three lovely children and one grand daughter.

            Prince Garrett was called to the ministry in 1985, began to pastor his first church in 1986 in Henderson Texas for two years. His wife was a certified school teacher.
