Pastors and Founders

“…walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3 KJV

THE JOURNEY BY GOD’S GRACE

From the beginning, it was evident that John ‘Melvin’ Wooten had the heart of a servant as well as a leader. He has served as an usher, choir member, Sunday School teacher, President of Laymen’s League, President of Ambassador’s for Christ and Chairman of the Deacon Board. Not surprisingly, John Wooten answered the call to ministry. He preached his initial sermon December 15, 1991 and went on to Pastor in March of 1995.

As evidenced by his educational background, Pastor Wooten has a thirst for knowledge. His studies include Edgecombe Community College, Shaw Divinity School, Virginia Union, Eastern North Carolina Theological Seminary and Bethel Bible College and Seminary.

But most importantly, Pastor Wooten loves God. He has a love for people and is a man that values family. He is married to the former Patricia Martin. They have two sons and one daughter. Family, friends, co-workers, church members all agree that John Melvin Wooten has a Pastor’s heart and will readily share the truth of God’s Word. His favorite scripture is Ezekiel 44:23“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” (KJV)

We ask that you continue to pray for Pastor Wooten. Although he is pastoring, employed full time, and has recently earned a doctorate, he is tirelessly committed to leading by example and striving for excellence; all to the Glory of God.
