SHEPHERDS OF THE FLOCK

We, out of the hearts of deepest gratitude, thank those who have aided us in casting light on the path this church has trod from infancy to adulthood. Without records it has been impossible for us to know the years served by some of these pastors, but in order to give recognition to those who sleep, as well as to those who live, we have resolved to include in the history all of the known pastors of the Tabernacle Baptist Church.
