Our Pastors

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!!
The Rev. Arnold and Shelia Byrd were called to minister at the Soul Saving Station Church in November of 1981. Rev. Byrd was installed the following year on May 29, 1982. They have been faithful servants of God, and have served this congregation, and this community with the love of God. In 1979, Rev. Byrd was licensed as an Evangelist, and later ordained as a minister in 1980, at the annual convocation in New York City, at the Headquarters Church (Soul Saving Station for Every Nation, Christ Crusaders of America).
Prior to his call as Pastor, Rev. Byrd served as the Chairman of the Board of Deacons, for seven years, and as a Bible Instructor for the Christian Training Center for eight years at the Headquarters church, in New York City.
We thank God that Rev. Byrd accepted the invitation given him by our late Bishop Tate, who was led by the Holy Spirit to move in this direction to help with this ministry here.

11 Corinthians 2:14 states:
Now thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.

Rev. Byrd holds a Master Degree in Parish Ministry from the New York Theological Seminary in New York City, and in 1978, he was certified in Pastoral Studies in Counseling at Blanton Peale Institute of Religion and Health also in New York City. In addition, Rev. Byrd also holds several quarters in Clinical Pastoral Education studies, and gave service as a part-time Chaplin at the Nassau County Correctional Center for Youth Offenders, and at the Nassau County Medical Center with the Long Island Council of Churches.
The Rev. Shelia Byrd has served on many ministerial Dept’s (deaconess, Bible Teacher, Usher’s, Missionary) at the Headquarters church for many years. She also served as the President for Church
Women United for two years(1986.-88). Currently she serves as co-pastor and church administrator for over fifteen years.
Rev. Arnold & Shelia Byrd are proud parents of five daughters, Wanda, Audrey, Stacy, Genevieve, and Justine, and four sons,
Arnold II, Shawn, David, and Michael, and also eight grandchildren.

1 Tim. 5:17-18 (KJV) 

    Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. [18] For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

We thank God for our spiritual leaders (Reverends Arnold & Shelia Byrd), and their families.
GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
