FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Earlier this year the over 10,000 member congregation of one of Broward County's oldest African American Baptist Churches, the New Mount Olive Baptist Church (NMOBC) welcomed their 12th Pastor, Marcus D. Davidson and his family with hope, enthusiasm and energy unsurpassed in the church's 91 year history.

 

 

NMOBC has an unparallel legacy of helping others and serving in the Broward County community, and Pastor Davidson's vision and leadership will continue to sustain that legacy and create new ideas for improving the lives of individuals and families in the communities the church serves. "I am overwhelmingly excited about the work that God is doing at NMOBC and what I believe He is going to continue to do. It is a new day for all of us, and it is my prayer that God allows all that we do to bring glory to His name. As I always say, one thing I know without a shadow of doubt is that, I was born into this world to lead God's people. Therefore, we are the church that "loves the Lord and believes in Kingdom building," states Pastor Davidson.

 

Pastor Davidson is a native of Tuscumbia, Alabama and brings a rich tradition of Baptist training and preaching to his new role a Senior Pastor of the NMOBC. At the age of 16 he accepted his call to the ministry and worked diligently to pursue his calling. He has a Bachelor's Degree from Alabama Agriculture & Mechanical University and graduate degrees in Biblical Studies and Divinity from Heritage Bible College and Beeson Divinity School at Samford University respectively. Currently Pastor Davidson is pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville Kentucky.

During his service at Pleasant Grove he accomplished many great works in the name of the Lord.
