On February 8, 2009, Rev. Brian Watkins heard the voice of the Lord and was called to be the shepherd of Greater Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church. Under his leadership, the ministries have expanded and exploded with excitement, commitment and a restored level of “Excellence”. Pastor Watkins works hard, diligently seeking the wisdom of God to nurture the spiritual and natural growth of his church family. He believes in unity, the continued growth in faith, maturing in the “Word” and moving forward with God's  vision for Greater Emmanuel as we build the Kingdom of God, one family at a time.
