Striving To Be A Lighthouse In The Community

Pastor Richard Goodwin, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Quitman, Texas.

Pastor Statement to the Community

As Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, my vision is to make this church a lighthouse to the Quitman area. With the help of God and the Holy Spirit, our church preaches and teaches the word of God to fulfill the great Commission reaching the lost and reconciling them to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Our members desire to return this church to what it once was … a place of worship and fellowship where members and visitors share the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Brother Richard Goodwin
