Dr. Corey Brooks is an outstanding facilitator, leader, and teacher whose gifts have made a tremendous impact on our church. His Security Ministry medical-emergency training was clear, practical, and empowering, equipping our leaders with the confidence to respond effectively in critical moments. Additionally, the New Disciples class he facilitates for our new members is one of the most thorough, engaging, and spiritually enriching sessions we offer—helping new believers and members understand their faith with clarity, depth, and relevance. Dr. Brooks brings excellence, compassion, and professionalism to every assignment, and I would highly recommend him for any training or leadership development needs you may have.

John Maxwell’s concept of “The Difference Maker” centers on the idea that what truly sets leaders apart, especially during challenging times, is their mindset and willingness to act boldly:

1.    Courage over Comfort – leaders who take chances inspire others and create momentum

2.    Leadership Mindset – requires skills and attitude, a resilient mindset enables leaders to navigate adversity and turn challenges into opportunities

Dr. Corey Brooks is a true Difference Maker who walks in his purpose courageously, confidently and competently with a well developed leadership mindset. I was truly blessed to lean from and with him during his facilitation of the New Disciples Class at Mt Olive Baptist Church. I’m looking forward to future opportunities to engage!

I’m glad I attended the Security Ministry’s training/ presentation led by Dr. Corey Brooks on handling a church medical emergency during worship service. The information presented was very helpful and thorough. I left the training feeling confident, knowing what to do, and prepared to react to a church medical emergency.

Corey is the ultimate professional who conducts himself to the highest moral and ethical standards. Corey is an Army Combat Veteran who has served honorably and successfully in various military positions during his career in the Army. In fact, his leadership ability as Platoon Sergeant provided mentorship to Soldiers under his guidance. Soldiers challenged their capabilities and push themselves to higher levels. Corey’s supervisory skills allowed him the responsibilities for administrative, operational oversight, management, direction, coordination, and the evaluative performance of military and civilian personnel. Corey’s unwavering work ethic, character, and expertise fostered him unquestionable credibility and confidence in his leadership abilities at all levels. Furthermore, Corey has achieved much educational success. He holds a Doctor of Education degree in Educational Leadership and Administration from Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia. He used his educational success to help others. Corey’s expertise was imperative in establishing an Educational Center on Kandahar Airfield Afghanistan. The Educational Center was designed to offer undergraduates students (Soldiers, DoD Civilians and Contractors) tutoring, mentorship and advisement, and an opportunity to apply to the university of their choice.

As a seasoned leader with experience in both church security and Intelligence. Dr. Brooks’ background encompasses formal education, years of firsthand leadership, and direct involvement in medical response scenarios. This testimony reflects my professional evaluation of the effectiveness of his training within a security ministry setting. The medical emergency training was highly informative, direct scenario based and provided the attendees with the opportunity to expand upon their experience and knowledge.

Description goes Participating in the Security Ministry’s Medical Emergency Response Training was an outstanding experience. Dr. Brooks made sure the instruction was clear, practical, and focused on real-world situations we may face while serving. I walked away feeling more confident, better prepared, and equipped with the essential skills to respond calmly and effectively during a medical emergency. This training not only strengthened our team’s readiness, but also reinforced the importance of protecting and caring for those we serve.

Carlton Bannerman, Trustee Security Ministry Team Member, Mount Olive Baptist Church

Dr. Corey Brooks is a servant leader whose life’s work transforms individuals and communities through compassion, humility, and selflessness. He prioritizes the growth of others, helping them strengthen their character and discover their God-given potential. He listens deeply, cares genuinely, and creates space for people to identify their strengths while learning how to lead with integrity, purpose, and discipline.

Dr. Brooks models the foundational leadership principles of Christ, who taught, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant” (Matthew 20:26). Through both word and example, he reminds us that true leadership is grounded in kindness, honesty, and goodness—even when such virtues go unnoticed or unrewarded by the world.

In essence, Dr. Brooks teaches that leadership is not defined by position or power, but by character, service, and sacrifice. His life reinforces the truth that leaders are measured not by how many follow them, but by how many they lift, empower, and inspire.
