A Life of Service, Rooted in Berkeley County
Leroy Godfrey Jr. didn't come to public service through politics. He came to it the way most things in his life have come — through faith, family, work, and showing up for his neighbors.
Servant First, Candidate Second
Reverend Leroy Godfrey, Jr. has spent his life in service — to God, to country, to his community, and to his family. A pastor, a disabled U.S. Air Force veteran, a small-business owner, and a published author, he is running for Berkeley County Council, District 6, on a simple, common-sense promise: plan and fund our roads, schools, and drainage before approving the next big project — not after.
A Life of Service
Leroy served thirteen years in the United States Air Force, in Accounting and Finance and as an Office Manager — leading the conversion of two major finance systems, overseeing roughly half a million dollars a month in construction contracts, and earning repeated commendations for solving hard problems the right way. A disabled veteran, he separated from the Air Force after thirteen years of service — but never stopped serving.
More Than Three Decades in Ministry
From a youth pastor in Anchorage to the pulpit of growing congregations in Omaha, North Charleston, and the South Carolina Lowcountry, Leroy has spent his life teaching, counseling, and building people up. Under his leadership, one congregation burned its mortgage in just three years. Today he serves as Associate Minister at Church House of Ministries World-Wide in Ladson.
A Builder and an Entrepreneur
Leroy founded and ran Psalms 100, Christian bookstores serving families who couldn’t easily find gospel music and literature that reflected them. Today he is the owner and operator of Three Lovely Princesses — a business named, fittingly, for his three daughters.
A Published Author on Stewardship
Leroy writes what he believes. His faith-and-stewardship series — Mrs. Ant’s Stewardship Planner, The Wisdom Trail for Women, and The Wisdom Trail for Teen Girls — teaches families to be wise with their time, money, and faith, and is available at Mrsant.com. He is also the author of Who’s Drinking the Kool-Aid?: Jonestown Revisited, available at WDTKbook.com. All titles can also be found on Amazon. The theme running through his work is the same one he brings to this race: be a good and honest steward of what you’ve been trusted with.
Rooted Here
A 25-year resident of the Windwood community in Moncks Corner, Leroy is a husband and the proud father of three daughters. He has spent months digging into the county’s own records — asking the hard questions, showing his work, and insisting on answers before advancement. Not opinion. The county’s own documents. That’s the kind of councilman he intends to be: one who does the homework before the shovels, and who answers to the people of District 6.
“Stewardship asks not only, ‘What did I receive?’ but ‘What condition will it be in when someone else receives it from me?’” — Rev. Leroy Godfrey Jr., The Wisdom Trail for Women
That’s the question he’s asking about District 6’s roads, schools, and drainage — and it’s the question this county should be asking before every vote.
Honest weights and measures. Common-sense change. A public servant who shows the receipts.
Why He's Running
Leroy didn't start speaking up because he was running for office. He is running for office because District 6 needs someone who will speak up. Before ever asking for a vote, Leroy stood before the Berkeley County Planning Commission — twice — to raise the questions residents deserve to have answered: What happens to our traffic? Our schools? Our drainage? Our emergency services? In July 2026 he carried that same case directly to Berkeley County Council.
He believes public office is not a trophy. It is a responsibility. His campaign — and his service on council — will be measured by one standard: Responsible Growth. Accountable Leadership. Residents First.
