Our Pastor
Pastor, Prophetess Tonya R. Cogburn
Pastor/Prophetess Tonya Cogburn is the Senior Pastor and Founder of True Deliverance Ministries Inc. in Montgomery, Alabama. One of her missions is to lead the lost to Christ and help them to be delivered and set free. She is definitely one of God's anointed and appointed mouth pieces.
She accepted Jesus Christ in September 1999, while attending The Father's House in Luverne, AL, under Bishop Bobby McKenzie and became a new creature. The Lord kept her there through 2006 while He laid the spiritual foundation for the journey ahead. For the next stage of her spiritual growth, God moved her to Shouting, Dancing, and Deliverance COGIC in Troy, AL. Under Bishop Tracy McClure she further developed into her calling as a "Prophetess", one of God's anointed and appointed mouthpieces. Prophetess Cogburn continued to allow God to use her as she preached the evening service through 2010.
It was in 2011, that God moved on Prophetess Tonya Cogburn and instilled in her a great commission. She was charged to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to build a Body of Believers that would become more than conquerors. God opened doors to the beginning of True Deliverance Ministries, Inc. in Montgomery, AL. As Pastor Cogburn began this next phase in her spiritual journey to lead the lost toward salvation, deliverance, and being set free, God has shown her favor. As in the readings of 1 Chronicles 28:10, 20-21
"Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it...And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee; until thou hast finished all the work of the service of the house of the Lord. And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment."
True Deliverance Ministries began with just a few members in the Governor's House Hotel & Convention Center in Montgomery, AL. After one year of faithful service, God moved the ministry to The Old Wynnsong Movie Theater in Montgomery, AL where we were able to seat 54. God continued to add to the ministry Kingdom-minded workers and the ministry grew even more. Soon we had to move to a larger room to allow seating for 88. In May of 2017, God revealed more of his vision for the ministry and moved TDM to a location that would allow seating for 100. With the vision God has given Bishop and Pastor Cogburn, In April of 2024 God allowed the ministry to purchase and move into a place of their own.
Pastor Cogburn is the wife of Bishop Floyd Cogburn, mother of two children: Sasha & (Kendarius who has gone home with the Lord), one step-daughter: Janay, and five grandchildren: JaMarcus, DeShaun, Aaliyah, and Camryn. God has led her to complete a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and a Master's Degree in Management.
Pastor/Prophetess Tonya R. Cogburn is a mighty woman of God. She has drawn many souls to the Body of Christ and has shown to truly be a Pastor after God's own heart. Through many personal and spiritual trials and battles, this Slayer of Giants has proven to be Armed & Dangerous with An Indestructible Praise.
