Brother Roger and Sister Halene Decker
|
Following the death of Brother Emerson Wilson, Brother Roger Decker answered the call to become the pastor of the Church of God at God's Acres in May of 1987. He and his late wife, Sister Roxanna Decker, labored together in the local congregation for 29 years. (Sister Roxanna Decker went on to meet her eternal reward in October of 2016, leaving behind a spiritual legacy for both her family and the congregation. The December 2016 issue of The Gospel Trumpeter [page 6] features an article in her remembrance.) In May of 2019, Brother Decker remarried. He and Sister Halene Decker now labor together in the ministry, faithfully serving the needs of the local congregation.
