First Lady Thourogood and family, what a blessing has been giving to me from God with placing Pastor Adam, you all, New Jerusalem and COGIC to teach and guide me to God’s amazing grace. I will always be praying, praising and serving you all in the Name of Jesus. You all are very special loving people and I will truly miss Pastor Adam as I miss Bishop but I know with a deep comfort that someday I will get to worship with them again. So I will continue to do as I have been taught of God’s marvelous word. Love, give and care for his people. God love you

It was a shock to hear of the sudden passing of this Great man Of God.

We were blessed to share in the worship service last summer. He preached with a spirit of a fresh anointing.

We will keep the first Lady and church family in our prayers.

Words could never express what I feel about my beloved Pastor and First Lady Charmin. Just hearing him preach and pray for us as members. To see Pastor and Lady Charmin come together during and after the service was awesome. Pastor Thourogood had a gift to look into your heart and pray for that which you needed help with. Lady Charmin would come and give you a hug and wisper a prayer in your ear.To god be the glory and Lady Charmin God will take care of you and family.May god grant you his peace and strengt always.
