FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

To the People of God:

Greetings in the precious Name of Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

Last month we had a gloriously meeting to celebrate the men of God. I thank all those who participated in the event. We also had a planning meeting to discuss our involvement in the community. Many things were discussed, and the groundwork was laid to proceed with a 501(c)3 in the area of Rogersville AL using Berea Church of God in Christ at 16067 Hwy 72 Rogersville, AL as our headquarters.

It was decided to begin with a singular focus to obtain the means required for good success. We shall continue our tradition of assisting previously incarcerated persons. We will have a follow up meeting at our headquarters on April 3 at 6PM.

If you are interested in joining us on this journey of servitude. Please reach out to me and let me know if you are interested in a specific area or just want to volunteer your time, skill or efforts to our cause.

I pray God’s blessing upon those whose lives we have touched and those who have influenced us.

Cordially,

Pastor Reginald Boswell (March 2023)

Excellence in Service in the Beauty of Holiness

MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR

The name Berea was birthed in my spirit in 2004. Circumstances emerged from God’s hand to permit this ministry to come into being in 2021. We serve God in Rogersville AL with a sincere and cordial spirit that aligns with the temperament of the Bereans (Acts 17) with great expectations for growth in ministry.
We implement Biblical Counseling and encourage any that would come to join us in worshiping the Lord. God has prepared us to spread the gospel and encourage others to live a life devoted to God.

OUR HISTORY

Elder Boswell realized that the establishment of a church is a lofty endeavor that will require a lifetime commitment to excellence and abiding in God’s Word. After much prayer and careful consideration of the responsibilities required seen and unseen including the difficulties that may arise Boswell moved forward to share with his wife, Carolyn Boswell, the Vision to begin the work that God had impressed as an imprimatur upon his heart years earlier.
Shortly afterward, Boswell shared with the COGIC Huntsville District Superintendent and his current pastor Supt. Dr. Terrell Harris, Jr. his idea, including the name that God had given him (Berea Church of God in Christ). Dr. Harris agreed to the idea and gave helpful advice in efforts to move ahead gracefully unto the development of a new mission within the Huntsville District. The Pastor’s vision was presented to the Church of God in Christ, Alabama 1st Jurisdictional Prelate of the who agreed to the Pastor’s vision, with high regard for the name chosen. The location chosen was in Rogersville, Lauderdale County, AL. The Initial Service was on Sunday, September 19, 2021, at 10:30 am.
