We believe in creating an atmosphere where everyone is welcome regardless of race, ethnicity or spiritual background.

Meet the Pastor

Pastor Joey is an ordained Bishop in the Church of God. Pastor Joey Williams and his wife Tracy have just recently started the New Year 2025 at the East Laurinburg Church of God.

They are deeply loved by the congregation already just getting to know them. Together, they are a wonderful example of devotion and leadership, ministering to the spiritual and personal needs of the church family. They are blessed with two daughters and two precious grandchildren, who bring joy to their lives.

Pastor Joey’s heartfelt preaching and Sister Tracy’s kind support reflect their commitment to sharing God’s love and building a strong community of faith.

What We Believe

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked
