Elder Styles is a man of God first, a husband second, a father third, and a friend to all. He was born in Sunflower County, MS and raised in Indianola, MS, by his beloved grandmother, Thelma Byrd. He is the one and only son of the late James L. Styles II and the late Mrs. Annie B. Spencer (Mr. Jimmy Spencer). He is the loving husband of Mrs. Rita D. Styles and the father to Jasmine S. Styles, James L. Styles IV, James T. Styles Sr., and Shewonia Sibley. 

      He came into the True Ministry at the youthful age of 32. He was taught and brought up in The Word under Bishop Marion Modley of Indianola, MS. He spent twenty years under Bishop Modley, teaching and preaching The Word of Truth. God led him to head up his own congregation in the city of Leland, MS, in an effort to spread the Word of Truth to more souls.
