Newton was selected as the Nu Voices Preacher at the historic 111th Hampton University Ministers' Conference, a national platform showcasing emerging prophetic voices in the Black Church. He serves as pastor of St. Stephen A.M.E. Zion Church in Asbury Park, NJ, where under his leadership the church has become one of the fastest-growing congregations in the denomination.
