Deacon GM Chester

My early years were spent playing basketball and football while attending Anacostia High school in Washington DC. I also played football on the collegiate level at Lock Haven University Pennsylvania conference. This training led to my desire to coach youth sports and becoming a mentor in South East DC as well as Temple Hills, Maryland.

The desire is strong to make a difference by fortifying minds through spiritual enrichment and lending an ear and assistance where needed. Because we have lost 15 members in our congregation worship isn’t what it used to be. Funerals have become a weekly ritual I could do without, but God!!!
