Dear Friend:

Pastor Larry M. McCallister, Sr., Th.D.Your parents and my parents often grew up in one neighborhood, attended school, married and were a part of one church for their entire lifetime. Today it is estimated that many families will move from three to five times during their lifetime and must search for new physicians, new dentists, new stores, new schools and new churches.

If you and your family find yourselves currently searching for a church that you can call your church home, then we at the First Church of God in Dunbar would like to cordially invite you to come and be a part of our fellowship. I stand ready to answer any questions that you might have in regard to the ministry of this congregation and how we can best minister to you.

Yours in His work,
Pastor Larry M. McCallister, Sr., Th.D.
