Pastor James A Johnson, Jr. from Newark, New Jersey preached this special message to commemorate the church's 129th anniversary

Are you as mature in your Christianity as you should be? As with the physical body, if you don't condition it right you can grow old without growing up. You must feed the spirit correctly if you want a mature, "grown up" walk with the Lord.

In this message, Pastor Pickett address barriers set up by cultural and racial prejudices and encourages us to tear them down and build bridges toward unity.
