Cleveland had served the Seventh-day Adventist Church for more than 60 years as
pastor, evangelist, church leader, teacher, civil rights leader, and mentor to
thousands of preachers.
Cleveland began his pastoral ministry in 1942 in the Carolina Conference. He
subsequently served as evangelist in the South Atlantic and Southern Union
Conferences. From 1954-1977 he served as Associate Secretary of the Ministerial
Association of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. After leaving
the General Conference, he went to Oakwood College where he served as Director
of the Department of Church Missions and as an Instructor in the Department of
Religion.
Because of his legendary service to the
Seventh-day Adventist ministry, Elder Cleveland was honored during the 2007
grand opening of the Bradford-Cleveland-Brooks Leadership Center on the campus
of Oakwood University.
Please keep the Cleveland family in your prayers during this time of
bereavement.
Funeral arrangements will be provided when available by the Southern Union
Conference Communication Department on the Southern
Union Conference and Oakwood University websites.
You may leave messages for the family by visiting the online guestbook.
