God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to join me
in matrimony to the Greater Faith A.M.E. Zion Church of Petersburg,
Virginia. For that I am grateful, for I
believe that God ordained this union long before Greater Faith or I ever existed. I believe God looked ahead in time and chose
the day of the union and so it is.
Pastoring is not only an awesome responsibility but
an humbling experience that requires one to always remember that none of the
assignment is about him/her but all about God and service to God’s people. As I am called to shepherd God’s people, I am
reminded to seek the wisdom of God to rule over these people whom God has given
me charge of. As I move forward in my
assignment from God, I am reminded that “I walk by faith not by sight.”
Greater Faith is a congregation that has a servant’s
attitude. First, because Jesus said, “…but
whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.” (Mark 10:43)
Second, we realize that it is impossible to serve God without serving our
fellow man. At Greater Faith the Saints are
being equipped for service and the work of ministry.
As we move forward in ministry, we will strive to
establish a strong foundation for our members through nurturing worship,
fellowship, and teaching that will lead to a deeper Christian experience and
result in greater participation in church and community ministry that will be
evidenced by members desiring to obey the commandments to love God, love one
another, make disciples, and live a life that is pleasing to God.
Visitors:
For those who visit us in person, we promise
to make your visit so warm and welcoming that you will want to come back. For the unchurched, we will make every effort
to lead you to Jesus Christ and to love and care for you as Jesus commands us to
do. We want you to know that you don’t have to have any special clothing, just
come as you are; you don’t have to wait until you “get it right,” just come as
you are (see our home page for service times). We, at Greater Faith, do not
look down on anyone unless we are picking them up. For those who visit us by social media,
facebook or other means (as they become available), we welcome you, and we
invite you to visit us in person as soon as possible. We promise that your visit will be a pleasant
experience.
