     HAPPY 25TH PASTORAL ANNIVERSARY!!!  WE CELEBRATE YOU!!!

                                                 A MESSAGE FROM OUR BISHOP 
                                                 September 11, 2022

                   

Wow, it has been 25 years since God called me to lead this incredible congregation.  It really does not seem like it’s been that long.

I have been blessed all of these years of serving the St. Stephen Baptist Church.  So many have come to serve with me during this wonderful season.  We have laughed together, cried together, and served together all for the glory of God.

God has shown us tremendous favor down through the years.  I have lost count of the number of sermons, Bible studies, workshops, weddings, funerals, baby dedications, conferences, counseling sessions, church services, and church meetings in 25 years.  However, I’m convinced that there is more to come because my commitment to continue is strong.  The gospel must be preached, taught, and lived.

There are so many that celebrate with me.  I am so grateful for the faithful leaders and committed members of the SSBC.  I could not have enjoyed the longevity in ministry if it were not for the men and women that consistently say, “I am with you Bishop” and mean it by their actions of praying, presence, participation, and paying.  I have learned that the success and strength of a church is determined by the commitment of its leadership and members.

I’m blessed to have so many friends from all over the country that encourage me in ministry.  You are greatly appreciated.

A special gratitude is given to my family.  My loving and supportive wife of 15 years, my mother and Fathers, my children, and my blessed brother, Leon.  They have always been in my corner the entire time even when I did not realize it.

Now that 25 years are behind me, I look to the future with great expectation that our great God will continue to sustain us in the work that He has called us to fulfill.  Again, thank you.


                                                                                  To God be the Glory!
                                                                           Bishop Lanier C. Twyman, Sr.
