Apostle Carl G. Kiel, II, D.D
Our Leader was born and raised in Lufkin, TX to Mr. Carl G. & Lynette Kiel. He was born and raised in the Church of God In Christ, during his childhood. Being reared in the way of holiness, his grandmother Martha Lee Jones-Kiel would take him into her 9am prayer time every morning and this would be the start of his spiritual journey. He learned to love God, through her disciplined private prayer time every morning. This grew on our Leader.
As his desire for God grew and he was filled with the Holy Ghost, according to Acts 2:4, at age 12. He begin witnessing on Williams Street, in Lufkin. This eventually caused him to gain followers and weekly Saturday Evening services began.
He begin teaching his early followers how to seek God. Miracles, Signs & Wonders begin following his ministry early. Countless Testimonies are a result of his yielding to God. Every weekend there would be cars lined up down the street to be a part of what GOD was doing in the midst of those powerful services.
As he got older, he was led to join Impact Outreach Ministries, Inc. where Overseer Roy L. Scott is the Pastor. It was here where our Apostle learned the Apostolic Doctrine. He then relocated to the DFW Metroplex to attend college and he served as a minister of music, while preparing to launch his ministry in the metroplex.
On December 30, 2011, he received the keys to his first location and on January 8th, 2012, Our Apostle launched "NEW SEASONS CATHEDRAL" at 179 South Watson Rd. #412 in Arlington, TX. By September 2013, NSC had outgrown its small rental space. He also became the first pastor to be ordained under the umbrella of Impact Outreach Ministries, Inc.
Our Leader had a vision to relocate and purchase our 1st property and God blessed us to do so. He led NSC to 1830 Lamont Avenue, Dallas, TX 75216. We purchased that property and completely paid it off 5 months ahead of schedule.
Through the leadership of our Apostle, he has led us to remain debt-free ministry. His ministry is centered around Acts 2:42.
On March 2014, Apostle was called into a meeting and was asked to lead 2 other churches, as their Bishop. With the approval of his Pastor & Overseer Roy L. Scott, he accepted the request and on December 31st, 2014, he was consecrated Bishop of the small fellowship, in Wilmer, TX, which would eventually become known as the "FLAMING FIRE HOLINESS CHURCHES." A jurisdiction of Impact Outreach Ministries, Inc.
As our leader was yet pastoring NSC Dallas, he begin expanding and working out other ministries in Clarksville, TX/Fort Worth, TX/Lufkin, TX and crusading in areas that desired the ministry.
In 2017, Apostle gave his vision to relocate our headquarters back to Tarrant County, where it all started and God allowed this vision to come to pass October 29th, 2017. We moved to 2094 McDonald Lane, Mansfield, TX 76063. GOD moved quickly allowing Apostle Kiel to witness another miracle and we once again saw the hand of God upon this ministry and were deeded ownership of the property 30 Days, after moving in. Causing us to remain a debt-free ministry!
In April 2018, Apostle Kiel received his Doctorate of Divinity from St. Thomas University, based out of Jacksonville, Florida. On September 30, 2018, Our Pastor was affirmed as an Apostle in the Lord's Church, by Archbishop John L. Lawson of Longview, TX.
In 2024, the name New Seasons Cathedral Church was retired and the church was renamed Flaming Fire Holiness Church.
Apostle Kiel is certainly a man of God, faith and family. He is married to the love of his life. Our Leading Lady Kontessa L. Kiel. They parent 4 loving children: Camaria, Carl III, Kennedy & Kelsey.
