Wells was an educator in the Memphis City School System. Pastor Wells received a license to preach at the age of eighteen, the youngest ever to receive an ordination in Tennessee, at the hand of the late Bishop J. O. Patterson, Senior Bishop F. Doctorate. Macklin looked on the work and ministry of Dickerson Wells and made him the Evangelical President of the Jurisdiction of Tennessee.
He served the Tennessee Central Jurisdiction in 1991 under the leadership of Bishop H. Jenkins Bell as the pastor of the Greater Faith Temple Church Of God in Christ in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Bishop J. O. appointed Pastor Wells as the Administrative Assistant to the Presiding Bishop of the Church Of God in Christ. Almost immediately after, Pastor Wells claimed that God told him to change the name of his church from "Bethesda" to "Bethel". Now the name of his church is Bethel Church Of God in Christ. He was consecrated and ordained as an Auxiliary Bishop in the Church Of God in Christ on November 8, 2015.
