Pastor's Desk
New Members Welcome!
Holy greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  It is indeed with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to extend to you a warm and heartfelt welcome to the Genesis Chruch of God in Christ family.  I'm thankful for the wise decision that you have made to become a part of this great work that the Lord has given.  At Genesis, that's where you will find love, joy, and peace.

Your new memebers guide and scriptural reference manual is designed to inspire, motivate, challenge and educate you in the functional aspects of our local, district, jurisdictional, and national church for those of you who are a part of the body, I applaud your dedication to work with our local family.

For those of you who are new to the Christian faith, I'm confident that your decision to follow Jesus Christ will reign as the greatest beneficial choice you will make in this walk of life.  I encourage you to safeguard your new salvation as a precious treasure and believe II Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold, all things become new.  Finally, my Christian friends, I offer guidelines for development, enhancement and sustainment of your Christian growth.

  • enhance your daily prayer life
  • spend time daily reading your bible
  • attend church faithfully
  • participate in international fast days (Tuesday & Friday)
  • share your time, talent and resources with the body of Christ
  • seek pastoral guidance for special questions involving scriptures on daily living
Your assimilation of these guidelines and embracing I Corinthians 15:58 will assure a closer walk with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Therefore, I encourage you to "be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord".
 
Committed to the  Gospel
