pastoral message

Greetings my brothers and sisters in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  

As Pastor of New Pleasant Grove. I remain truly and sincerely humble to be chosen by God to lead this great church. I give God all honor, glory, and praise. I love all of my members here at New Pleasant Grove and feel blessed to be the spiritual leader of this wonderful congregation. 

My prayer and desire is that everyone has an intimate relationship with Christ. That we all will receive salvation by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior in our hearts. In the past year God has blessed us with physical, and more importantly, spiritual growth. I’m praying for continued growth in both areas. Praying that we’re committed to being a church that’s working together to lift up the name of Jesus. 

As we continue to move forward, I’m praying that the Lord will continue to lead, guide, and direct our path. God has blessed us with a new health ministry. As well as added a teenage ministry as part of our youth ministry. Both are very important in the body of Christ. 

Again, I feel truly blessed to be called as the shepherd of this great group of people. May we all continue to work together in His name so His will may be done. May God bless each of you and your families. To God be the Glory.
