David & Cathy Wilson
Pastor David and Cathy came to Pastor us in February of 2010. Both of them were raised in Assembly of God Pastor's homes and each of them was called to ministry at a young age.
They met at Southeastern University of the Assemblies of God, were married and began in full-time ministry in the 80s.
They have ministered on various church staffs as associates in the areas of Youth, Music, Evangelism and Children's ministries.
Pastor David was born in Michigan, Cathy in Alabama. Between the two of them they have lived in 8 different states and traveled and ministered in over 40 states and 10 different countries.
"We believe God has led us here and used all of our life and ministry experience to bring us to this point and place in our ministry. The Lord has made His direction for us to be in the Pastoral ministry very clear to us, and we are excited to be here and work with the wonderful people in this church!"
Two years after the founding of the Assemblies of God, members adopted 16 beliefs for the Fellowship. This list, known as the Statement of Fundamental Truths, remains virtually unchanged. Four of these beliefs are considered the major tenets of the Fellowship. They are:
1. Salvation Through Jesus Christ (John 3:3, 16, 17; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8, 9)
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.
2. Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; 2:4; 17, 18, 38, 39)
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
3. Divine Healing for the Sick (James 5:14-16)
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
4. The Second Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52)
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
