Pastor Edward Brown
South Bend,IN
Summary
Accomplished Pastor with a proven track record at Greater Harvest Full Gospel Church, excelling in preaching and pastoral counseling. Spearheaded church growth strategies, resulting in a more inclusive community. Skilled in disciple-making and teaching. Even though we had a small congregation, with the Lords guidance, we were able to make several improvements to our building. We paid off the mortgage, added siding, new lighting and an HVAC system. We started a food pantry which was much needed in our community, because, the church should not sit so that the community can see it's needs. But the church should see the needs of the community! Spirit filled man of God. Who preaches the unmitigated gospel. I have a heart of love for Gods people. I feel that love is imperative, if you want to be an effective leader.
