Day 49 (May 30, 2026)
In 1990, a new vacancy for an assistant minister opened as Brother Pete Jackson moved to lead the Westside congregation. We were proud to see "Bro. Pete" move on to his own pulpit, carrying the training he received at Northside. To fill the gap, the church asked Brother Michael McClendon to step into the role. It was a beautiful moment of transition as the work continued within the family.
