Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. Lands Reality Show on Oxygen Network; Minister Presents 'Entertaining Way' to Spread Gospel
Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr., pastor to celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, is getting his own reality show on the Oxygen Network called 'The Wilkersons'.
The series will star the Miami pastor and his wife DawnChere, and it will be produced by Giuliana Rancic and Jason Kennedy.
"Producing this show has been a dream of mine, I'm thrilled that Oxygen has given us this platform," Kennedy told E! News, "Rich and DawnCheré are some of the most fascinating people I've ever been around. I can't believe we get to finally share their story with the world."
The pastor has come under fire a bit for being "too friendly" with celebrities, but he chalks it up to doing God's work no matter who asks for it. He famously performed the wedding ceremony for Kim and Kanye.
"A more entertaining way of spreading the gospel, this series not only walks with people through the struggles of their lives, but also sheds light on how Rich Wilkerson and his wife DawnCheré are committed to making church and faith fun as well as unexpected. With the entire family involved in the church, they are ready to share their innovative and thought-provoking ministering with both the believers and non-believers," the show's press release reads.
The show is expected be part of Oxygen's Fall lineup as they launch a rebranded network on October 7 with 13 other new shows including 'Preachers of Detroit'.
