Over 300 hundred people crowded
into the Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church for the installation services for our pastor, Rev. DeRienzia Johnson on Sunday,
June 24, 2007. Rev. Teddy Parker of Macon, GA and his church, Bibb Mt. Zion Baptist Church conducted the 3:00 PM services.
It was a true celebration and family reunion of churches. All of the family tree of Bethesda was represented, First
Baptist, the mother church and our daughters, Friendship, Union Tabernacle, Mt. Olive, Big Bethel and Restoration were all
in attendance. The ceremonies was highlighted by praise, worship, the charge and the acceptance. Bethesda chose,
but God sent this man of God to lead us to greater heights in the Word of the Lord.
