Senior Pastor · Chaplain · Spiritual Teacher · Community Leader
Bishop Bobby Lee Graham Jr. was born on June 11, 1981, in Atlanta, Georgia, and stands today as the third-generation pastor of National Divine Spiritual Church — a congregation founded in 1944 by his grandparents, Bishop Hiram O'Neal and Evangelist Pauline O'Neal. The son of Reverend Bobby Lee Graham Sr. and Nanella Graham, he was raised in the Historic Sweet Auburn District and carries a family legacy of faith, healing, and service that has shaped Atlanta for more than eighty years.
His preparation matches his calling. Bishop Graham holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Tennessee and a Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary. This blend of theological training and psychological insight allows him to meet people where they are — addressing both the spiritual and human dimensions of growth.
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."
— Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
Daughter of the Founders • Overseer • Certified Medium • Prophetic Minister • Healer • Community Servant
Overseer Nanella O'Neal Graham has devoted her life to faith, family, ministry, and service. As the daughter of the founders of National Divine Spiritual Church, Bishop Hiram O'Neal and Evangelist Pauline O'Neal, she was raised within the church and describes herself as a true product of the ministry.
Her life at National Divine began in childhood, and over the years she has served the church in many capacities. Before becoming Overseer, she served as a certified medium, sharing prophetic insight and participating in the church's healing ministry. She has also taught Sunday School, spiritual development, and other faith-based programs throughout her years of service.
In 2010, Nanella became Overseer of National Divine Spiritual Church. In this role, she assists the pastor, helps oversee the spiritual and administrative operations of the church, supports its ministries, and works to ensure that the vision and traditions established by its founders continue into future generations.
“Faith without works is dead.”
