What a day! My heart is overflowing with gratitude for what God did during my Pastoral Installation Service.
Pastor Chris D. Plant, Jr. preached a message that was tailored specifically for me. God showed up today in a way I never expected! As I sat and reflected on the message, I thought about the story of David and Saul, but today Pastor Plant truly planted a seed into our lives that will never forget.
Having my parents present made this moment even more special. Their love, prayers, sacrifices, and unwavering support throughout my journey mean more than words can express.
To Pastors Parker and Smith, my friend Jason Gray, and the Triggs family…thank you for your love, encouragement, and support. You helped make this occasion one that I will cherish forever.
To Pastor Ivan Lee of New Harvest Church in Battle Creek, thank you for the powerful charge you delivered to the congregation. It was impactful, inspiring, and a blessing to witness.
To the Deacons of Community Missionary Baptist Church, thank you for your leadership, faithfulness, and commitment to the work of the Lord. Your support throughout this process has been invaluable.
To our church family, thank you for your prayers, your love, your generosity, and your confidence in me as your pastor. You have blessed my life in ways that I can never adequately express. I love you dearly, and I am committed to serving alongside you as we continue to advance God’s Kingdom.
To our kitchen staff and everyone who worked behind the scenes, thank you for the countless hours of preparation, service, and sacrifice. Many people see the platform, but God sees the labor that takes place in the background. Your efforts did not go unnoticed, and I am deeply grateful.
To every musician, singer, usher, greeter, volunteer, staff member, ministry leader, family member, friend, and supporter who played any role in making this day successful; thank you. Whether your contribution was large or small, public or private, you helped create a day that I will never forget.
Today was more than a service; it was a divine reminder that God has been ordering my steps all along. I leave this day humbled, grateful, and more determined than ever to follow His will for my life and for the ministry of Community Missionary Baptist Church.
Thank you all for your love, your prayers, and your support.
To God be all the glory for the great things He has done!
