Assistant Missionary leader and Church Warden
Reverend Folkes can often be heard quoting from the Bible, "I was glad when someone said to me, let us go into the house of the Lord", and "...taste and see that the Lord is good". Saved and baptised in 1983, Reverend Folkes has been the epitome of a worker in the church. She started as an usher and over the years moved through the ranks from Volunteer to becoming a Reverend in 2018. Sister Folkes is passionate about Evangelism as she loves to tell people about the love of God. Reverend Folkes is our church warden, and is one of the main faces seen in our local community.
Men's Fellowship Leader
Brother McDermott was born in a Christian family; his father was a minister and his mother was a Believer. He attended Delrose Bible College in Jamaica, worked hard in industry and was even a police officer. He migrated to the United Kingdom in 2001 and was baptised in 2011 after the death of his father reminded him of the brevity of life and prompted him to make his 'calling and his election sure'. Brother McDermott has been an active member of the Birmingham branch and puts his hand to anything that he can. It was this unfailing commitment and his proactive nature that led to him being appointed as the men's fellowship leader and to be subsequently ordained as a Deacon in 2018. His vision for the men's department is to see men taking their rightful place in the body of Christ, on the front line.
Women's Fellowship Leader and Usher's President
Worker Carr-Morrison was 18 years old when she received the call of God on her life! She recalls the voice of God declaring to her that “there is work on the battlefield”, and was there and then commissioned by the Holy Spirit to “dare to be a daniel.” Worker Carr-Morrison is the Church Treasurer, Head Usher and leader of The Women’s Fellowship; three roles she honours and she enjoys working alongside her colleagues. Her vision for the women's group is to encourage and maintain a spirit of unity and fellowship among the women through the word of God, as well as execute missionary and evangelism work within the wider community in the hope of harvesting souls for God's Kingdom, but also reaching out to them in a supportive and inspiring way.
Young People's Group (YPG) President
Growing up under the wings of a God-fearing mother in the Pentecostal City Mission Church, Worker Notice accepted Christ as his Saviour and in 2006, aged 16, was baptised. Five years later he was ordained as a Volunteer and then, in December 2018, as a Worker. He served as Youth Secretary for a number of years, and is currently the YPG President. He graduated university in 2008, with a degree in English and Sports Studies; in 2013 he achieved his PGCE and became a qualified teacher. He has a passion for the Lord as well as for working with young people and the local community. Worker Notice's vision is to see the youth department grow spiritually and to win souls for the Kingdom of God.
Sunday School Superintendent
In her early childhood Sis Nervelyn grew up attending the Comfort Hall City Mission basic school and Sunday school in the parish of St James, Jamaica. This set the foundation to her knowledge of God. Migrating to Birmingham in 1994, Sis Nervelyn accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour in 2014 and undertook water baptism during the holy Easter convocation that year. Since surrendering her life to the will of God, she serves on the choir, the praise and worship team and is a Sunday school teacher; in 2019 she was appointed Sunday School superintendent. As a Sunday school teacher, she understands the emphasis on the teaching and development of children, spiritually, regularly referring to Proverbs 22 v 6 in the Bible: “Train up a child in the way he should go and, when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
