Rev. Allen Moses
This journey to become a Minister for The Kingdom of God has allowed me a greater appreciation for the work that Pastors have endured for generations. Understanding God’s sanctification has truly inspired me to study to show myself worthy, rightly dividing the Word of God. As a Sunday School Teacher and a member of the Choir, has allowed me to a fore taste of his glory. In January of 2025, I announced my candidacy to become an ordained minister in the Baptist denomination and completed the process in May 2025. My future includes furthering my understanding at an
