Morris Webster

Rev. Morris G. Webster is Capitol Ministries LGM Regional Director for Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states and in that role is charged with increasing Local Government Ministries (LGM) to city and county office holders in those regions. Those states are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia (D.C.).

Rev. Webster has also led a CapMin discipleship Bible study to members of the Delaware Legislature since 2021. Prior to that, Rev. Webster taught the Bible in the Delaware Capitol as an individual. After conducting an internet search for Bible studies to teach to political leaders, Rev. Webster discovered CapMin and soon joined with the ministry.

Rev. Webster spent his career as a businessman with decades of experience in ministry. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration and ministry prior to his ministerial ordinations in Christian & Ministry Alliance and National Baptist Convention. Rev. Webster and his wife, Carol, have five adult children and eight grandchildren—six boys and two girls. When he retired in 2012, and he and Carol moved from New York to Delaware, he left behind the prison ministry in the New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania region that he had led for 30 years. Looking for a new way to serve the Lord, Rev. Webster discovered that public servants were, for the most part, an untapped group. “I began to see that churches were not reaching out to legislators or anyone in government,” Rev.

Webster said. “Most pastors were pretty adamant on the separation of church and state, believing this hideous misrepresentation. As a mission field, there is not much difference between people who are locked up in prison and those serving in government. They both need Jesus and very few feel called to go and tell them about Him.”

Rev. Webster and Carol attend a network of reformed Baptist churches but minister in all Jesus Christ professing churches in the hope and conviction that they will become disciple makers in the mission field of government. Rev. Webster developed a series of “satellite” Bible study prayer meetings that meet across Delaware in churches, private homes, and restaurants to pray for legislators and the legislative Bible study. Prayer group members also mailed postcards to individual lawmakers every week, telling them they had been prayed for and asking for prayer requests. Among those who responded and asked for prayer is an atheist. Rev. Webster has also made great progress in organizing Bible studies on the local level and is working to expand them across the state.
