pastor haynes and wife

Family Praise & Worship was founded in 2009 by Pastor Vern H. Haynes, Jr. and his wife Sandra H. Haynes

Family Praise and Worship is called to exalt the name of Jesus and uplift God’s Kingdom by believing the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the sole authority for faith and practice while also declaring its purpose as follows:

To maintain regular services for public worship. To proclaim earnestly the Gospel message and to urge its personal acceptance, both privately and publicly. To promote systematic Bible study and teaching for Christian service and soul winning. To pray for one another that we may ever live according to the will of God, as revealed in His Word. To promote Christian fellowship and friendship. To promote the Christian education of our youth by training them in all things according to the precepts of the Word of God.
