He pursued his education further by relocating to Akron, Ohio where he received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Akron, his Master’s Degree from Ashland Theological Seminary and his Doctorate of Ministry from United Theological Seminary.

While in Akron, Ohio he answered the call into ministry that he had received earlier in life. Fellowshipping with United Baptist Church, he would be taught and learn the ministry.

God blessed him and opened up numerous doors to be used. He served his first pastorate at Shiloh
Missionary Baptist Church, Akron, Ohio. God would later call him back to United Baptist Church, to serve as pastor.

While in revival in Chicago, Illinois, God spoke to him through a prophetic word, that he would be used in ministry in his native home of Youngstown, Ohio. He would immediately begin to plan and prepare for what God was going to do.

Upon hearing from God, he opened the Christian Revival and Discipleship Center. It started as a weekly bible study. The purpose was to rekindle the fire of the saints, who were disgruntled with the church and the people of God.

Once they were revived, then they would be ready to be a disciple and ready to work for the Lord. Under the guidance and direction of the Lord, this weekly bible study would develop into a church. God would speak again and ordain for CRDC to open in Canton, Ohio, which has now relocated to Barberton, Ohio. Bishop Paramore was blessed to serve at United and CRDC.

After serving at United for 15 years God released him and has blessed him to continue the ministry of
CRDC.

While attending a leadership conference in Alabama, God would speak again through a prophetic word. He prayed and God led him to change the name to The Christ Centered Church. While continuing to follow God, Bishop Paramore is currently leading and directing Christ Centered Church.
