Who we are
Prior to becoming a Pastor, Richard Chronister was the adult Wednesday night Bible study teacher and the worship leader at the ‘York Revival Center’. He also held a service once a month at the York County Prison.
Him and his wife, Joan has had ‘The Outreach for Christ Ministry’; a prison ministry since 1979, sending The Power & Praise Magazine all over the United States. They started with only 7 names, and have now grown to over 700.
Richard Chronister felt the calling to become a Pastor in March of 1987 after attending a service with Pastor John Foster; the Pastor of the York Church of God. Pastor Foster had been trying his best to keep the services going at his own church plus keep the doors opened at a little church in Hanover that was in need of a Pastor. Brother Chronister went home that evening and couldn’t sleep. He was so restless as God dealt with his heart. After much prayer and council with his wife, he decided to call Pastor Foster the following morning and tell him he felt he should be the Pastor of that church. The very first service was held on April 12, 1987.
After 7 years, the church became over-crowded as people began to be drawn in. People would even stand on the front porch as they worshiped and praised God, because there was not enough room inside. Unable to add to the church building or have adequate parking, the Pastor and his family began searching for a plot of ground to build on. They found one in Thomasville, and the process of planning and purchasing began. The first service there was held on December 18, 1995.
Pastor Chronister, his wife, and family are continuing on in the Lord where they feel God has called them to be as they are faithful and committed to God.
