It is with both proud sadness and heartfelt gratitude that we announce the transition of our Pastor's beloved father, Mr. Craig A. Smith.

Mr. Smith has left his earthly home and entered into eternal rest. We take comfort in knowing that he has gone from labor to reward, from pain to peace, and from faith to sight. We thank God for the gift of his life and for the impact he made on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

To Pastor Ebony Draper and the entire Smith family, please know that you are in our prayers during this time of bereavement. May God surround you with His love, comfort, strength, and peace.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you." — John 14:1-4

Though our hearts grieve his absence, we rejoice in the blessed assurance that Mr. Craig A. Smith is now resting in the presence of the Lord.

With love, prayers, and deepest sympathy.

My condolences to you and your family, Pastor Draper. May the Lord strengthen and comfort you during this difficult season. ❤️🙏🏾

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Minister Willie Brown. We bow in humble submission to the perfect will of a sovereign God.

Minister Willie Brown is now resting safely in the perfect arms of God, awaiting that glorious reunion at the sound of the trumpet.

May God strengthen, comfort, and keep the family during this difficult time. Please know that our prayers and love surround you all.

“With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
— Psalm 91:16
