Pastor Anthony L. Gordon

 

 

Born on March 19th, 1961 he grew up attending Rose Olivet Missionary Baptist Church in San Francisco, California. In October of 1983 he gave his life to God and 2 years later he received his calling into Ministry. In August of 1993 he was Ordained to be a Deacon. By this time Anthony was married and had 4 children. Although he was an active deacon at the church, he knew God had called him to a higher level of ministry. However because he was quite content with teaching instead of preaching he felt he would eventually become a pastor on his own time which resulted in him neglecting the will of God over his Life. He found himself becoming consumed by ministry work and started to lose focus on what was transpiring at home and as a result his marriage had come to an end.This caused him to realize that he now wanted to do things God’s way. But the transition from self-gratification to the glorification of God was a struggle for him because now he desired to preach but God had put a hold on him. God limited him to only teach messages about Lordship and the importance of following God’s will over one’s life until he, himself, fully realized the importance of the message he continually shared with his fellow saints. In 1998 he left his childhood church home and moved on to New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, California.         

Pastor A.L. & First Lasdy Ericka Gordon

 

 

 In the meantime he met, fell in love and married (now First Lady) Ericka Gordon on July 14, 2000. He welcomed her 3 children as his own and like the Brady Bunch together they raised all 7 children in Love. In 2007 he Joined True Faith Missionary Baptist Church in Antioch, California where his Father Served as Sr. Pastor. He stayed there until May of 2012 When he and his wife joined Agape Baptist Church.      

 While at Agape Baptist Church he served as a Deacon until June of 2013 when he became an Ordained Minister.

God finally released him from that hold and on April 13th,2014 allowed him to become an Ordained Pastor. He was made Sr. Pastor of Agape Baptist Church on May 11th,2014! 

Now as Sr. Pastor his Goal is to fix the focus of the saints back on Jesus and  to challenge his Congregation with the Truth so that they may know the difference between Religion and Relationship because they need to "Know Jesus" so that they may "Know Heaven!". He wants to Serve the community with the Love of God and Most importantly he wants all to know that "It's not about ME but about GOD and serving God's People. I am not perfect. Before I was afflicted I went astray, I did many things wrong...but now his word I keep. Tho God disciplined me I realize that he disciplines those he loves. So do not stop trying to do what is right in the eyes of God when life gets hard. Instead apply the corrections God gives you and remember that his discipline in your life is a sign that you are a true child of God."

Amen*
