Whereas, with Pastor Marcia Bailey working beside her husband to fulfill the vision, a bible study started in their home with five adults and five children and has grown to over eleven hundred members, over thirty ministries, seventy thousand square feet of facilities, and assets in excess of five million dollars on twentyseven acres; and

Whereas, Pastor Bailey has received the Doctor of Divinity from St. Thomas Christian College, Jacksonville, Florida; and

Whereas, Pastor Bailey’s family is second only to God. She is a loving, devoted wife to her husband and a dedicated and loving mother to Chandler, Tyler, Daniel, and Kindra; and

Whereas, as a shepherd, mentor, confidante, teacher, intercessor, and visionary, Pastor Marcia L. Bailey, is truly a unique individual who gives selflessly of her spiritual, emotional and natural talents without compromising the Word of God, and for this she deserves much recognition. Now, therefore,
