During camp meeting 2006, I was asked to candidate at the Franklin Avenue Church of God in Vandergrift. The Lord assured me that it was not what I could do but it was what He could do through me. I candidated and was hired on October 15th and work under the supervision of Rev. Gale Winning for two months. In December 2006, I was hired as their full time senior pastor.

In His Service,
Pastor Kathy
