To All of God’s Teachers:

Grace and peace be unto you. We are excited the Lord had decided to give you this ministry. Yes, you are a gift. As a matter of fact, Ephesians 4:11-12 says, “God gave us teachers to prepare God’s people for works of services.”

«PASTOR BELL BIO

May God bless you precious ones in HIS love and joy. I thank my GOD that HE has afforded me the opportunity to pastor the most wonderful congregation in the world. In my tenure as pastor, I have encountered a wide range of situations that have helped me develop and mature as a pastor.

This development has come with great enthusiasm and joy. The success that we have achieved as a church could not have been accomplished without first, "God’s Grace". His grace is that unmerited favor that we do not deserve, but we do thank HIM for it.

Second, we could not realize our success as a church without those souls that serve in ministry. Souls' serving in ministry has been one of the premiere goals we have urged in these five years. For we are not saved to sit, but have been saved to serve. Serving others is one of the ways that we serve GOD.

With not only "God’s Grace" and "'Souls Serving", but our present success can be contributed to a third source, "People Praying". Charles Haddon Spurgeon a renowned preacher and pastor of the late 1800's and early 1900's in London, England was deemed the first mega-church pastor. Brother Spurgeon preached at times to crowds of over twenty thousand without a microphone. Pastor Spurgeon was asked the source of his success, he replied; "My success comes because I have people who pray for me." Things can happen when people pray, but things also can happen when people do not pray. Prayer has certainly been the foundation of our success. "God’s Grace", "Souls Serving", "People Praying", and finally, "Lots of Love".

Fourth, love is the binding element that holds everything together, "For it is with loving kindness have I drawn thee." Jeremiah 31:03. Love is that commandment that we are to keep. "Love GOD with everything you have and everything you are and then love your neighbors as yourself. On these two hang all law and the prophets”.

Our future looks good as we continue on this same track, GOD has blessed us to secure 7.3 acres of land, which will be our new church campus in the near future. This land will house our family life center, “The Bethel Dome” and our new worship facility. “If we have faith as a grain of mustard seed, we shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto us.”
Matthew 17:20.
