Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the Lord they shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not Be weary and they shall walk and not faint.“
As Pastor, I believe in praising the Lord, for his many blessings. I was installed as in May 2014, the mother of four adults three sons One daughter, and four great grandchildren. I believe in giving God a radical Praise. I am the Sunday School Superintendent Received my Associates Degree in Evangelism and received my BA in Theology, I truly thank God for his many blessings I pray that Our Lord and Savior take me on a level where he needs me. God bless.
Elder Annette McBryde
CO-Pastor
My favorite scripture is:
“If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
I am the assistant pastor for Pastor Perkins, as well as the president of the Women’s Department and president of the North NJ Diocese Samaritan Daughters. I was inspired to write two plays (Sista to Sista, and I cried my last tear). I am the mother of two adults, (son and a daughter), six granddaughters and four great-granddaughters and one great-grandson. Being a part of Mt. Carmel has truly been a blessing, so many different ministries grow out of this ministry. Because we can say we can do all things through Christ that strengthen us, in any given situation the Lord has a way of making things work.
God bless.
