PASTORAL APPLICATION PACKET
TRUELIGHT MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH - HISTORY
In 1945, Truelight Missionary Baptist Church Inc. was organized and ordained
by God. Thirteen members gathered to form a new worship church truly inspired by
God. Thus the name Truelight Missionary Baptist Church was established. The Late
Rev. McKinsey McNeal was the first pastor and he served for approximately two
years. Four other Pastors led the church over a seven year period.
In 1953, the late Rev. Leroy Boykin became the Pastor and served for over
thirty-five years and passed away on December 8, 1988.
March 25, 1989, Rev. Michael A. Howard was called by God to Pastor the Truelight
Missionary Baptist Church. Truelight completed the vision in 1990 of the New
Church Home facing Main (Engine) Street and the membership roll has increased to
an overflow of God¡¯s Blessing. In 2020 Pastor Michael A. Howard received the
Pastor Emeritus status for his untiring loyal guidance and anointed leadership for
over thirty-one years.
From a membership of thirteen, to an overflow of God¡¯s Blessing, from leadership
of some of Mobile¡¯s finest Pastors ever known, from outdoor restrooms until 1990,
from two worship services a month, now weekly including Sunday School, Bible
Study for Women, Seniors and members of all ages, from anointed visions and
miracles and now after seventy-four years; we know we are blessed and highly
favored by The Almighty GOD. A lot has happened to shape and mold us to our level
of worship and grace, but the true story of Truelight will live beyond generations to
come.
For JESUS said, ¡°¡and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.¡± Matthew 16:18-19
**Since Reverend Michael A. Howard¡¯s retirement, Truelight Missionary Baptist Church has
been guided by the Deacon Ministry and spiritually feed by her associate and guest Ministers.
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not
heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ¡°How
beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad!¡± Romans 10:14-15 (NKJV)
