The Pastor of the Church is Mr. Kenneth Fairley. Many people don’t know but the church is also home to a private school for early childhood development; so this potentially affects many families and children.Pastor Fairley told the Hattiesburg Patriot, “There will not be a foreclosure. God will work this out.”  Mr. Fairley is known as a rather flamboyant, dapper, and polished orator.
