​Bishop T. Anthony Bronner, a native Philadelphian, is a preacher extraordinaire and a trailblazing visionary. He is Senior Pastor of Elim Christian Fellowship of Buffalo, NY, and he is Senior Pastor of Elim Christian Fellowship of Rochester, NY as well. Bronner founded the churches on November 7, 1999 and November 17, 2002, respectively. Prior to that, he was pastor of the prestigious Calvary Baptist Church also of Buffalo, NY.

Bishop Bronner, fresh out of seminary, was called to Calvary in October of 1992. He assumed the pastorate on Sunday, December 6 of that same year. He says of this landmark time in his life, "it was my first solo pastoral experience, and it was a blast: a real love affair. I was able to use both traditional and progressive ministerial approaches to producing spiritual growth and development."

Paramount to Bronner's success as a new pastor were his ability to win souls and his ability to develop funds. In testament to his effectiveness,nearly five hundred people joined the Calvary Baptist Church within six months of his appointment. Early on he spearheaded a crusade to reach souls across western New York which began with the offering of early morning regional prayer meetings. Bronner's regional prayer meetings quickly caught on and before long became his trademark. He surpassed a benchmark when he and Calvary successfully hosted a regional prayer gathering at the Bison baseball field which was attended by thousands.
