In 2021, Elder Berry began assuming pastoral responsibilities while aiding Pastor Robbins during her ongoing health challenges. After the resignation of Pastor Emeritus Jacquelyn Robbins in July 2022, Elder Vernita Berry said, “send me, I’ll go” and stood in the gap to bear the cross as Sheppard of this house until she officially became appointed as the Interim Pastor at the National Convention in July, 2022 by Chief Bishop Dr. Wex Waddell

Pastor Vernita Berry shared the vision God had given her to become the “Church on the Go.”  Since becoming Pastor, she has taken the mantle and embraced  the great commission given by Jesus Christ himself in Matthew 28:10-20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: an lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world”

She has understood her assignment to be a soul winner for Christ, with a heart posture to bring ALL who will come, into the family of God. Even personally picking up our youth so that they can come to church and learn of The Way-The Truth & The Life which is the gospel of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.  She is a daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend.  She is our Pastor, Elder Vernita Denise Berry.
