Reverend Dorothy Stubbs started pastoring at Helen Faison School after sitting on the Greater Allen AME Churc ministerial staff for almost nine years.
For the past year, Rev. Stubbs has pastored New Evangelistic Ministries, now located in Wilkinsburg. Many people from churches all over the city came to celebrate her one-year anniversary with musical selections, prayer, scripture and a Word by guest preacher Rev. Stanley Hood. A delicious lunch served before the ceremony.
“I just bless God cause you look and you wonder how, what, when, where your going to do this and God is just so faithful he just puts everything in place sends people to you in your life. I just want to bless God,” Rev. Stubbs said.
During the last year, Rev. Stubbs said she overcame being the pastor of a new ministry and trying not to put a lot of pressure on herself.
“In the earlier part of the year, (you try) to do everything yourself because you don’t know who has that talent and spirit, and you don’t want to just put anybody in there and they don’t have the right spirit,” she said.
Some of the good things to being the pastor, Rev. Stubbs said, was “Seeing families come together that weren’t speaking, seeing people come together and stop judging others and come to have change in their own life is the highlights of pasturing in the last year.”
The mission statement of the New Evangelistic Ministries is “Where everybody is somebody you don’t have to dress up, but cover up.”
“I want everybody to know that who so of will, let him come; whether you’re White, Black, whatever you are, and no matter what you got going on in your life, we don’t judge you. God is the Judge; all we can do is love on you, and preach and teach the word so you can see what God wants you to change in your own life,” she said.
