  • REVEREND DR. JOHNNIE W. SKINNER SR. PASTOR'S MESSAGE June is the month of sunshine and beauty and that is what I wish for each of you. May the beauty of God’s Word dwell within your heart and may “the light from God’s lighthouse continue to shine on you.” Determine in your heart and mind to begin the month of June with daily personal devotion and prayerful meditation on the Word of God. You will see yourself “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ.” (2Peter 3:18)
  • As you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, you will become more like Jesus and become imitators of God. (Eph. 5:1-2) And as we become imitators of God, we have eternal life because we believe in God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son. As we imitate Christ, we should continually praise and worship God in everything that we do. When we give our tithes and offering, we are also worshipping God. Please don’t forget to pray for those who are sick and shut-in and for each other. P.U.S.H. – Pray Until Something Happens. Prayer is our greatest weapon. Use it!
