Greater St. James Church
of God Expands With
Transitional Housing

by Amanda Smith

At Greater St. James Church in Macon, GA., Reverend Lewis Releford, Jr. has something BIG going on.  That something is a personal dream and a vision for his church that will soon come to fruition.

 


Greater St. James Church of God in Christ

 

Rev. Releford is the pastor of Greater St. James Church of God in Christ.  He has pastored there since 1998 and served as Chairman of the Macon District and President of the State Mission Department from 2002-2005.  He was appointed District Superintendent for the Macon District in May 2005. Pastor Releford organized the ACTS (Action Community Transitional Services Corporation) in 2001 to provide training, education and social enrichment to the community.  Now is an opportunity to puts ACTS to work.

 

Recently, a piece of property with two buildings standing on it were donated to his church and he knows exactly what he wants to do with it.  “It has always been my goal to help the church grow spiritually.  We need to have a spiritual impact on the nearby neighborhood,” says Rev. Releford.

 


Donated Buildings

 

Remodeling will begin on the two buildings next month.

If it’s a spiritual impact Rev. Releford’s looking for, we think he’s heading in the right direction.  His plans for the remodeled buildings include transitional housing for single moms, temporary housing for those who just need a hand-up to get on their feet, and even housing for drug addicts trying to get clean.  These are lofty goals, but they can be achieved through hard work, dreams, and the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.

 

Reverend Releford is married to Evangelist Missionary Angela Releford and they have been blessed with 8 children.  They invite you to attend services with them at the following location at the following times.
