District Leadership Meeting - Crossroads



Last night churches gathered in the Middle Tennessee districts 11-13 at the Crossroads church for the District Leadership conference. To say the building was filled would be an understatement. After the sanctuary pews were filled, chairs were brought out in the back, along the sides and near the front, and the worship team remained on the stage area due to the need for seating. Even as the sanctuary was filled, there were others who were a part of the service through closed circuit systems in the church building.

There was a great worship service led by the Crossroads worship team, and the drama team from Baggett's Chapel ministered as well. District Presbyter, Bishop Gary Riley did a great job of moderating the service, and after the message, there was a great time of ministry in the altar area. To God be the glory!

The next service is scheduled for the Murfreesboro area next Sunday night at 6:00 p.m., where Bishop F. Leon Graves will moderate the the State bishop will again bring the message. We are expecting a large crowd there as well. Please join us for these great times of worship, fellowship and ministry of the word.

Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A new convert?

New Church Organized

It is always a tremendous thrill to announce the establishment of a new church. This post shares a little about our latest. On January 30, 2011 I met with the people of the Capilla De La Victoria (Victory Chapel) in Cleveland, Tennessee for the purpose of organizing and establishing what had been a mission work for well over two years. Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex. Pastor Tim Coalter (now State Presiding Bishop of South Carolina) shared with the congregation a vision of that local church planting two churches in the United States. We then joined in a partnership with the Tennessee State Office to share in the cost of rent and other needs for a period of two years. Since the inception of the idea, there were several changes. Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
