Born March 2, 1944 to Rev. and Mrs. James L. Watson, ministers in the
Church of God. I was raised to know the doctrines of the church and
accepted Christ at an early age.
Before going into the
ministry I served as Youth Director, Sunday School Teacher, Choir Director
and Etc. in the First Church of God, Christiansburg, Virginia. I accepted
God's call to the ministry in 1972. For two years I filled the pulpit for
pastors in VA and West VA when they had to be away for meetings and
vacations. I accepted my first pastorate in 1974 and was licensed in 1975.
I was ordained in 1977 by the Ministerial Association in Virginia.
I married Lynda Necessary
on March 21, 1964. We have two daughters, one son and four granddaughters.
My wife has worked by my side in all our ministry. She has worked outside
the home as a Receptionist, Legal Secretary and in the Correctional system
in Virginia to help financially. In the Church she has been Sunday School
Teacher, Youth Director, Children's Church Director, Choir Director and
served on many different Boards and Committees.
Together we have been
ministering with the church here in Summerville for the last ten years.
During this time we have lead the church in building a new sanctuary that
will seat three hundred.
We are praying that we will see
people come to know the lord in a personal way and are working to see them
grow in the knowledge and love of our savior Jesus Christ.
Our mission statement/purpose/goal
for the church is "TO SAVE THE LOST AT ANY CO$T!" Colossians
3:15 states (NIV) "Let the peace
of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were
called to peace. And be thankful." We try to carry out our mission
through the PEACE of Chris
