Our Pastor of Pearly Gate Missionary Baptist Church is the Reverend Milford Earl Netterville.
He was installed as our Pastor on January 7, 2018. He is an avid reader and a great storyteller. His messages leave you inspired to change the world. He uses parables to teach us lessons as Jesus did.
Pastor Netterville was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, was raised in Los Angeles, California and later moved to Detroit, Michigan.
His biblical teaching began under the leadership of Pastor Grier, on the 2nd Sunday of February in 1980 he joined the church. God revealed himself to Pastor Netterville in a vision showing him that He would be his bridge over troubled waters and would move all obstacles out of his way. Then he confessed his calling to Pastor Grier who already knew what he was called to do. Eight months after joining Pearly Gate on October 26, 1980, he preached his first public sermon.
Pastor Netterville believes that a preacher is like a desert traveler that has found the water, and then goes back to find the thirsty to lead them to the water.
Pastor Netterville is a tremendous blessing to our church. He was called by God to lead leaders and to serve as a powerful inspiration for our entire congregation.
