On June 4th, 2016, Reverend Vincent M. Perry was elected to pastor Lower Shady Grove Baptist Church in Woodruff, SC.  Since his inception as Pastor,  four ministries have been birthed into the LSGBC family: Greeters’ Ministry, Intercessory Prayer Ministry, Praise & Worship Ministry, and the Voices of Victory Choir.  He has also worked hard to bring the church body closer together, strived to grow our Bible Study Ministry, and has taught us the purpose of Bible study.

 

Reverend Perry is an example of how God can always turn nothing into something, for it was the blood that changed his life and gave him purpose in his life. One of his favorite scriptures comes from Romans 8:37-39 where it says “nothing can separate you from the love of God!” No matter how high, how low, how good, or how bad, God’s love can always find us. If it had not been for the Lord who was on our side, where would we be? To God be all the glory!
