Meet Our Pastor

He is married to the former Miss Karen Jackson and they are the proud parents of two wonderful children, Andrew Reginald Hairston and Angela Rachelle Gardner.  

Dr. Hairston is the Senior Pastor and believes in “Shared Ministry” where pastor and people work together to lift up our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Believing that every person has something special to offer, his goal is to provide guidance, inspiration, love, and support to his church family and throughout the community so that as servants of God and disciples of Jesus Christ, we will remain faithful despite the obstacles facing us in this troubled world.  This can be realized through prayer, the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
