| 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 beliveing 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 Feburary 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 pastorship, 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 and again in December of 2004 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 seventeen 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 !!! |
