DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

We believe in One God, His Son Jesus Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit. We believe in following the tenants of the Holy Bible. Our goal is to fulfill the Great Commision as described in Matthew 28.

Our Pastor

Reverand Rowena A. White

White is a born again, Spirit-filled woman of God whose joy is serving and ministering to God’s people.  Her goal in life is to love God with all of her heart, soul and strength, and to edify the body of Christ through her preaching and teaching.  She is passionate about reaching the lost and saving souls for Christ.  

Rev. White answered the call to the ordained ministry in December 2000 after faithfully serving in the Women’s Missionary Society, as well as in various other ministries in the local church. 

Her love for missionary work has taken her throughout the United States and to the island of Kingston, Jamaica where she assisted in painting and refurbishing dilapidated housing units for underprivileged residents.  She was appointed by the Connectional President of the Women’s Missionary Society to serve on the National Causes and Cures Task Force to fight drug abuse.  She also served as the Episcopal Supervisor of Missions, YPD and the Minister’s Spouses of the Third Episcopal District. 

Rev. White has faithfully served with her husband, the Rev. Dr. Henry Y. White, at Union Bethel AME Church in Randallstown, MD; St. Paul AME Church in Washington, DC; Brown Memorial AME Church in Washington, DC; Turner Memorial AME Church in Hyattsville, MD and currently at Campbell AME Church in Washington, DC.  

 

Rev. White strongly believes in ministry outside of the walls of the church.  As an employee at the Environmental Protection Agency, she participated in the Everybody Wins program by reading once a week with a student at Anthony Bowen Elementary School.  For three years she served as a mentor to returning citizens with the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) Faith-Based Initiative.  She was recognized by Radio One as one of the Top First Ladies in the Washington Metropolitan Area in November 2013.

 

Rev. White is the daughter of Retired Bishop Robert V. Webster and the late Supervisor Carole O. Webster.  She is a graduate of Wilberforce University in Wilberforce, Ohio with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting; the University of Maryland University College earning a Master of Science Degree in Non-Profit Management and Howard University School of Divinity where she earned the Master of Divinity degree.  She worked as an auditor for the Department of the Navy, Department of Energy and for the Environmental Protection Agency from 1979 to 1999.  

 

Rev. White and her husband are the proud parents of Henry Christopher and Angela Christina.  Her favorite scripture passage, which governs her life, is Proverbs 3:5 and 6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.”
