Carlton Pearson
Carlton D'Metrius Pearson (March 19, 1953 – November 19, 2023) was an American Christian minister and gospel music artist. At one time, he was the pastor of the Higher Dimensions Evangelistic Center Incorporated, later named the Higher Dimensions Family Church, which was one of the largest churches in Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the 1990s, it grew to an average attendance of over 6,000.
Due to his stated belief in universal reconciliation, Pearson rapidly began to lose his influence in ministry with the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops and was eventually declared a heretic by his peers in 2004.
Pearson was subsequently the senior minister of Christ Universal Temple, a large New Thought congregation in Chicago, Illinois; head of New Dimensions gathering in Chicago; and an affiliate minister at Tulsa's All Souls Unitarian Church.
