Pastor Emeritus
Our Pastor for 56 years, Pastor Roy Gentry Sr. and Mrs. Sylvesta "Maw Maw" Gentry are forever in our hearts.
In 2017, our congregation voted to elect him as "Pastor Emeritus" of our church. Founders of the Dogwood Christian Academy and Dogwood Valley Bible Camp, they have touched countless thousands for the cause of Christ. Only eternity will reveal the impact they have made on all of us and many others. On April 28, 2019 Pastor Gentry went home to be with his Heavenly Father. His loving wife of 69 years Sylvesta "Maw Maw Gentry" joined him in Heaven on December 29th, 2020. We will continue to hold high the banner in their honor and for Christ! We love and appreciate all of the sacrifices they made for our church and its ministries.
1 TImothy 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
