OUR PASTORS

Pastor Leroy Hulvey

Pastor Leroy Hulvey felt called of God to the ministry after he and Iris attended a Tony Fontaine concert at John Lewis Junior High School in 1971. He came home and was praying about the call that he felt in his heart. Leroy was amazed beyond measure when he opened his Bible for his reading that night when these rhema words from the Lord leaped off the page into his heart from Habakkuk 2:l-3:

"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me...and the Lord answered me, and said,...the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie, though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

A year later he was a student at Eastern Mennonite College (now EMU) and graduated in 1975 while pastoring three churches in Highland and Bath counties. He graduated from Eastern Mennonite Seminary in 1978. He received his Doctor of Ministry Degree from Bethany Theological Seminary in Oak Brook, Illinois, in 1987. Leroy and Iris are both members of the International Convention of Faith Ministries.

Pastor Leroy had a life-changing experience in 1970 when he read Kathryn Kuhlman's book, 'I Believe in Miracles." He and Iris began to attend her miracle services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they saw the power of God in action. They learned first-hand about divine healing and that God still heals today just as he did in the book of Acts--that "Jesus Christ (is) the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Pastor Leroy experienced a miracle of divine healing in those meetings. He and Iris were baptized in the mighty Holy Spirit according to Matthew 3:11 and Acts 2:4 and entered the power dimension that God desires for every Christian.

Pastor Iris Hulvey

Pastor Iris Hulvey is a graduate of Dunsmore Business College and Blue Ridge Community College, where she received an Associate in Applied Science Degree with a major in Mental Health Technology.

She also graduated from Faith Christian Bible School in Warrenton, Virginia. Iris was a certified activities director for fifteen years in local nursing homes.

In 1970, Iris was baptized in the mighty Holy Spirit, according to Matthew 3:11 and Acts 2:4.

Like Pastor Leroy, Iris is also a member of the International Convention of Faith Ministries.

In 1989, Iris and Leroy both felt led of the Lord to establish the first charismatic Word of Faith church in Page County on January 1, 1989.

On April 14, 2021, we will have served in the ministry 47 years.

OUR BELIEFS

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, equal with the Father. He was born of a virgin, was crucified as punishment for the sins of mankind, was resurrected on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is coming back soon to rule and reign forever more.

We believe the only way to eternal salvation is through personal belief that the blood of Jesus is all-sufficient for the penalty of sin and an acceptance of Him into your life as Lord and Saviour.

We believe that salvation is immediate and eternal upon acceptance of Jesus as a one-time sacrifice for our sins, and not obtained through any works of our own.

We believe in the Trinity; that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three persons present in one God.
