House Of God Saints In Christ 98th National Holy Convocation was the stage for their inaugural ‘Community Spotlight and Recognition’ award ceremony. The theme from the event was from the Bible’s Hebrews chapter 11:6. The event was held during night service inside Mt. Moriah House of God Saints in Christ headquarters located on the Eastside.
Ten honorees were honored for their commitment and dedication to their local communities and professional services. These women were nominated by church elders in Florida and Georgia.
Locally church Elder Dr. Sherry Lowman nominated Dr. Shaun Powell (Filmmaker, Playwright, Educator, Founder of Ritz Writers/Historic Ritz Theatre, CEO Powellful Productions) and Ms. Ava Jacques (CEO & Co Founder ALCAM Community Action Motivator, Inc.). “The committee asked if I knew individuals in the community doing phenomenal things, and yes I do. I was proud to make the nominations,” said Dr. Lowman. Also honored from Jacksonville was Glenda McCollors McClendon (CEO Chef Harvey Foundation)
There are over 100 churches under the House Of God Saints In Christ auspices. Jacksonville’s Mt. Moriah House of God Saints in Christ is under the leadership of Bishop Lorenzo Moore, Presiding Prelate and was the first church that was founded by the Late Bishop Nick Hightower Sr. in 1927.
