Husband wife ministry
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
