"THE CHURCH WHERE THE DISTANCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE""THE CHURCH WHERE THE DISTANCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE"

 “And the Lord answered me and said, “Write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; but it will surely come, it will not tarry.”   

Habakkuk 2:2

Pastor Robinson has preached in many states conducting as many as 35 revivals in one year.  He preached at the National Baptist Convention, USA, Kansas City in 2004; traveled extensively in 18 foreign countries and most of the U.S.  Many have confessed Christ under his administration and new organizations have been formed; over 40 ministries developed with the Church membership doubling.  Our pastor served in the U.S. military, recipient of over 500 certificates for meritorious services, plaques and awards local, state, and national.  


He is the son of the late Nathaniel and Lelia J. Robinson. Also, the proud father of 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 1 great grand.  His greatest desire is to Love God by being a servant to his fellow man.  His motto is: “If I can help somebody while I pass along, then my living will not be in vain.  Let me do what I can for whomever I can as long as I can.  May the work I’ve done speak for me.”
