45 years of love. 45 years of faith. 45 years of saying “yes” to God and to each other. 💜

Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary to Bishop James & Pastor Katherine Chambers!

Your marriage is a blessing to our church family and a powerful example of enduring love, grace, and partnership in ministry.

We pray God continues to bless you with many more years of joy, strength, and favor.

Help us celebrate them today. Show some love in the comments! ❤️

Have you ever asked God… “How long?”

Waiting can be one of the hardest seasons of our faith.

But this Sunday, Bishop James R. Chambers reminded us of something we all need to hear:

You may be delayed… but you are NOT forgotten.

In Psalm 13, David cried out in frustration — yet he still chose to trust God.

And maybe that’s where you are right now.

Waiting. Praying. Hoping.

Be encouraged today — God hasn’t forgotten you. He’s still working behind the scenes.

🎥 Watch this powerful moment from Sunday’s message.

💬 What are you trusting God for in this season?
