Pastor's Biography

The injunction in scripture “train the child the way he should go and when he grows he will not depart from it” has been my lot. Being privileged to have Christian parents, I was introduced to the church in my formative years and I grew accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior and Lord. His love for me and the sufficiency of his grace upon my life at all times compels me to serve him with my whole heart, soul and strength.

I am the only son to my mother but the 12th child of my father (a second generation Christian) who had 19 children with six women. I am married to Noreen and have two lovely children,one baby girl by name Delali and one son named Eli. We have been married going on eight years the date of, December 2nd,2008.
