Husband-Wife Ministerial Team Dedicated To Serving Mechanicstown Spiritual Needs.
The late Herbert and Evangelist Gladys Jarvis of Middletown, New York
Founded, The Gospel Mission Church in 1961.
This is their story.
A husband-wife-ministerial team, dedicated to preaching and teaching the Christian gospel, has put their varied talents to work in remodeling a church
to serve the spiritual needs of a racially intergraded Mechanicstown congregation. "The Rev. and Mrs. Herbert Jarvis of 5 Fair Ave said they are both licensed ministers of the New York General Conference of the Bethel AME Church. Their desire to serve a parish of their own remained unfulfilled until they were able to rent the former Nazarene Church and establish the "Voice of the Gospel Mission Church. The church is on Fairfax Avenue, Middletown, New York.
Rev. and Mrs. Jarvis were regular worshippers at the church when it was owned and operated by the Nazarenes. After the sect sold the church to a private citizen, the building stood idle for many months. The desire for their church grew keener. We felt we were called by the Lord to preach said Mrs. Jarvis

Our faith
What we believe, teach, and practice as God's children.
We believe that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2-Tim.3:16-17).
We believe what the Bible teaches about the Lord, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in these five truths
(1) Jesus was born of a virgin according to the scriptures. (Matt.1:18-21).
(2) Jesus was crucified according to the scriptures. (Luke 23:33)
(3) Jesus was Buried according to the scriptures (1-Cor:15:4)
(4) God raised Jesus from the dead according to scripture (Acts 2:24)
(5) We believe in life after death according to scripture. (John 6:54).

The late Stewards of the Church
Because of the dedication and faithfulness of our late ancestors, we are reaping the rewards from their labor of love which they showed toward the Lord and His Church. God is blessing us, their children because of their faithfulness and sacrifices they endured for the sake of the Gospel.
