Celebrating 49 Years of Faithful Leadership and Divine Grace. "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith." — Hebrews 13:7". With hearts overflowing with joy, gratitude, and holy anticipation, we warmly invite you to join us for a monumental milestone in the life of our church family. On Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 11:00 AM, we will gather to celebrate the 49th Pastoral Anniversary of our esteemed visionary, Pastor James H. Nixon, and his lovely First Lady, Dr. Catherine Nixon. For nearly five decades, this dynamic duo has stood as a beacon of faith, hope, and unyielding love in our community. Pastor Nixon has broken the bread of life with prophetic precision, guided lost souls to Christ, and shepherded our congregation through seasons of triumph and transition. Walking hand-in-hand with him, Dr. Catherine Nixon has exemplified grace, wisdom, and compassionate leadership, nurturing the hearts of God's people and building a legacy of spiritual excellence. Forty-nine years of pastoral ministry is not merely a marker of time; it is a testament to unwavering commitment, sacrificial love, and the sustaining power of God. Together, they have wept with those who weep, rejoiced with those who rejoice, and consistently poured out their lives as a living sacrifice for the advancement of God’s Kingdom. To honor this extraordinary journey of love and service, we are suggesting that everyone dress in our celebratory colors for the day: Amethyst (Lavender) and Platinum (Silver). Let us fill the sanctuary with these regal tones as a visual symbol of our collective appreciation and high esteem for this historic occasion. However, you may come as you are. Come prepared to lift your voices in high praise, offer prayers of thanksgiving, and shower our pastoral family with love, honor, and double portions of blessing. If you are unable to join us in person, we invite you to connect via our live stream to share in this sacred moment. Let us come together to make this 49th celebration an unforgettable tribute to a pastoral couple who gives their all to the glory of God. In His Matchless Grace.
