About Our Pastor
J. Vincent Terry, Sr., D.D.
Pastor Terry revealed to the congregation that he had a "Vision" from the Lord to direct our bark. One important part of the "Vision" was the complete renovation of the little wooden framed church at the end of the unpaved street. This renovation included a new brick facade, the remodeling of the church's sanctuary, the Pastor's study, the creation of a classroom, the church office & the complete modernization of the Fellowship Hall & the facilities.
God is still unfolding the "Vision" to Pastor Terry who is gently guiding us as we grow in grace and in the knowledge of God.
