About Rev. Yolanda: Itinerant Ministry
As a previous member and serving at Greater Christ Baptist Church for over 30 years under the phenomenal leadership of a dynamic Pastor, congregation, serving in ministry, and formal study, she was inspired to in a more intentional way make good and put into practice Matthew 28 "The Great Commission"; using all that God has placed in me to His Glory, and to live in the power that comes through the resurrection.
