Charles Burnett-Morrow

Pastor Charles places great emphasis on the Word of God. He teaches with special emphasis on the need for believers to understand the writings of the Bible within the context in which they were written. He also emphasizes continually the need to answer Scripture with Scripture, and not to rely upon reason or speculation to answer questions raised within the Word of God, but rather to find the answers elsewhere within God's Word. Isaiah 28:11-13 is frequently referred to as Pastor Charles is teaching the Word of God; "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." Pastor Charles' calling and gifts enable him to assist believers with a sincere desire to walk in the power of God to do so, and to do so with great blessing, victory and joy. His greatest emphasis is always on the need for God's people to follow the leading of the Holy Ghost and to walk in the perfect will of God. This, he reminds us continually, is the path to victory and blessing. Pastor Charles is in many ways old fashioned, believing in the need for a hands on pastor who is fully accessible to the people of God. He is happy to minister in member's homes, prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Please do not hesitate to call upon him should you require pastoral care, counseling, teaching, or encouragement. Our pastor believes that God's people ought to be faithfully and compassionately shepherded and not just herded as they are in so many of the modern mega-churches in our world today.
