I am so humbled and grateful to God for the opportunity to pastor this great congregation at Calvary Baptist Church, Boardman, Ohio. Only God can take an African American girl from the projects from the northside of Youngstown and allow her the privilege of becoming the first Senior Pastor of a Baptist Church in this area and the first to be the first African American to ever pastor Calvary Baptist Church in its 90 year + history. 

I am so grateful to Pastor Michael H. Harrison from Union Baptist Church for preaching the Installation message and to Pastor J. Dwayne Heard from Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church for officiating over the Installation Service. I am also grateful to Mayor J. (Tito) Brown along with many other Senior Pastors and other ministers from the city and surrounding areas for participating in the service and offering words of congratulations and encouragement to me. Also my thanks go out to Pastor Kenneth L. Simon from the New Bethel Baptist Church for giving the Installation charge to myself and to Pastor Harrison, who stood in for Dr. Morris W. Lee for giving the charge to the Calvary Church Family. 

This great miracle of God culminated in a wonderful repass and time of fellowship with friends, family and the Church congregation. To God be the glory for the things He has done and will continue to do with us, in us and through us at Calvary Baptist Church for the Youngstown, Boardman and surrounding communities.
