Pastor Daryl A. Stover was born in Columbus, Georgia where he received his early education via the public school system. He attended Mercer University in Macon, Georgia where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 1995. While at Mercer University, a Minor in Christianity was earned as well. Pastor Stover furthered his studies at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia where he earned a Master's Degree in Industrial / Organizational Psychology in 1997.

Though his academic background is often viewed as impressive, Pastor Stover is most proud of his Christian background. He grew up as an active member of Greater Shady Grove Baptist Church in Columbus, GA; having given his life to Christ at an early age. He served in a plethora of positions there and later accepted his call to the preaching ministry in 1998. Pastor Stover served as Youth Pastor of Greater Shady Grove Baptist Church until September of 1999. While serving as Youth Pastor, he aided in the progressive movement of the youth from practicing religion to possessing a relationship with the Creator.

Pastor Stover went on to faithfully serve the next six years, under the leadership of Pastor Sedrick L. Hamner, as Assistant Pastor at both New Bethesda Church and Greater Faith Church in Atlanta, GA. In both ministries, he helped facilitate personal and spiritual growth through the teaching and preaching of God's word. He also excelled in servant leadership; choosing to lead by the example of Christ's love and not merely by words and church administration, establishing the framework for effective leadership and ministry operations in the church. Pastor Stover is the CEO and Organizer of "Building Blocks of Faith Ministries"; the evangelical arm of his personal ministry that coordinates ministry engagements, media products (audio tapes, CDs, VHS and DVDs) and lecture series. He is also working with several Pastors across the nation to bring about the "Joshua Generation Crusade," a nationwide crusade to move the people of God into the promise land of their spiritual and socio-economic destiny. He also is embarking upon an expansion effort of "Building Blocks of Faith Ministries", to include internet, radio and television ministries.
