Rev. Ronnie L. Wolford & Wife Gladys
Greetings in Jesus name, I'm Rev. Ronnie L. Wolford, founder and
pastor of The Pentecostal Tabernacle Church. I'm a Oneness Apostolic,
Tongue Talking, Holiness believing preacher, that's been baptized in
the wonderful name of Jesus Christ and filled with his Holy Ghost,
with the evidence of speaking in Other Tongues Called into the ministry in
February of 1979 while in membership at the Mission For Christ Church
located at Thacker, WV under Eugene Gilbert, pastor, who is now passed
away. I left the Thacker church and went to the Faith Mission Church at
McCarr, Ky in 1986 under Berton Baker, pastor, who also is now
deceased. When pastor Baker passed away, I took pastor ship, and was
there for two years and was lead of the Lord to go to Matewan WV
and establish a new work. I then moved to Matewan, WV in May of
1990 and established The Pentecostal Tabernacle Church with twelve
members, a rented building, and a borrowed PA system and was very
thankful for what the Lord had done. After being there for about six
months, a church building came open at Edgarton, WV and we moved our
church into that building. As the Lord continued to bless and we began to
grow in membership, we were blessed to build a new sanctuary and that
work was finished in September of 1998, we have expanded this
building twice, after establishing the Delorme Christian School in
August of 2001 going through 2007 for seven years, we again in
December of 2004 expanded our church building a new entrance, and to
the Lord goes all the Glory for what He has blessed us to do. In Nov.
2006 we were blessed once again to have our church bricked with an
overhang and new metal roof to match the brick. I have pastored this
church for eighteen years and plan to finish my ministry here as the Lord
would lead. To encourage those that read this bit of history of how the
Lord has blessed. We started with twelve members, a rented building,
and a borrowed PA system. From May of 1990 to date the Lord has
blessed us to build this new church at a replacement cost of $ 500,000.00,
we are completely debt free, we have never had to take a mortgage
out on this church and to God be all the Glory. There is nothing
impossible with the Lord and to them that will believe. Great is the Lord,
and Greatly to be Praised !!! We have since purchased three pieces of
property to expand our parking lot and to have a nice picnic area and for
that we are thankful.
