The Rev. Jerry & Karen Goins are from Laurinburg, N.C. where they were members of the East Laurinburg Church of God, and then the assistant pastor at the Wagram Church of God for two years where we took our internship in the ministry. The Rev. Jerry Goins evangelized for six years prior to becoming a pastor. He still evangelizes at various times. The Rev. Jerry Goins and his wife have three sons, David, Jerry and Grier and two Grandchildren. Four years ago we had a vision where God lead us to The East Rockingham Congregational Holiness Church. Since being lead to this Church ,God has blessed us and we have doubled in attendance, with over 100 souls being saved since January 10,1999 and many sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost and Fire. God has called 4 preachers out since God lead us there, and 6 have been Ordained and are Evangelizing, and are also available for to serve your Church in Revivals or Special Services . We have had over 50 Baptized in water in the last year. We have also had to knock out walls and put more pews in. We also have a radio ministry on Sundays at 3:30pm to 4:00pm, where we have a live broadcast on Power & Glory WKDX Radio Station 1250 AM in Hamlet NC. We are now seeking God for the vision we need for the Church in the future We ask for your prayers in the future for the Church that we will follow God and stay in the center of his will. We will remember your Church in our Prayers also.
