Summary
Experienced, called, licensed, ordained, and motivated Pastor with a positive and Spirit lead track record at Sims Chapel Baptist Church, in preaching, teaching, and pastoral leadership. With the Lord’s help and guidance we were able to increase community outreach programs, significantly boosting church participation, attendance, and most importantly salvations. Though we have recently prayerfully, and humbly departed from our tenure at Sims Chapel, we remain burdened with a commitment to pastoral care, mentoring, and cultivating a culture of growth and collaboration among the brethren; through the teaching and preaching of God’s Word.
