By Chuck Stewart, Jr. (Newburgh) - Pastor Gail A. Roberson is the Founder and Senior Pastor of the Rhema Christian Worship Center. She has been preaching the Gospel for over twenty-eight years. Through all of her ups and downs, her testimony remains the same, “that the LORD has done it again.”
That phrase would hold true again on Sunday, February 4, 2007, as the church held their first service in their new home at 163 Broadway in the City of Newburgh. Not such a far move from the old edifice on Lander Street, but with a growing congregation and a ministry that includes a Youth Ministry, Outreach Ministry, GFT-R.C.W.C. Praise and Worship Team, Men of Promise Ministry (M.O.P.M.), Women of Purpose Ministry (W.O.P.M.), GFT-R.C.W.C. Choir, GFT- R.C.W.C. Security Ministry, GFT-R.C.W.C. Dance Ministry and a GFT-R.C.W.C. Step Ministry, space was sure to become an issue.
Pastor Roberson commits to teach the Rhema Christian Worship Center family, to becoming a Church that will “build God a kingdom and not a church. For if we build God a kingdom according to the Word of God and not on our own personal agenda, the House of Worship will become what God has ordained it to be.”
Pastor Roberson credits her totaled growth in ministry to Jesus Christ. She realized that she can’t do anything with out the Lord. She always refers to the scripture in the book of Romans 8:23 where it states: “And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
As she began to preach the word, she invited everyone to “take a victory lap around the church.”
“If you build Him a house, the people will come,” Pastor Roberson said. With the additional space and the growing ministry, it will only be a matter of time before Rhema Christian Worship Center is on the move again.
Stating that “This is a place where everyone is important to the body!” Pastor Roberson invites everyone to come fellowship with them and find out “what a Mighty God we serve.”
