Pastor Mims As An Individual
Pastor Mims is a distinctive man of character! He cherishes his wife and carries with
him a great testimony of God's mercy and saving grace. He is thankful to God that when wrong is present there is a conviction
inside him to do right. He often speaks of the compassion no one else can give but God! His experience while in
the world, reminisces on the "old time way" and the pioneers before him. Pastor Mims has a heart of a child,
a determination made of steel; He is a generous man, his hands are extended to meet the needs of the people. He has
an open door policy to extend the doors of Mims Chapel Church to those who ask of him because he knows from whence his blessing
flows. He is a Pastor after God's own heart. "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" I Corinthians 15:58
Pastor and Wife As A Couple
Pastor Carlton Mims and Mother Johnnie Pearl have been united in Holy Matrimony for 55 years! "Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:24.
They are the proud parents of ten living children (six males and four females) who were raised and natured
in the fear of God. As with any marriages, things were not always glorious; but their strong love for each other and
the vows they made kept them. Together they have struggled with sickness, were met with many of life's challenges,
and faced family crisis; but the outcome speaks for itself. Through the omnipotence of God Pastor Mims and First-Lady
continue to stand united in being fitly joined together in love and steadfast faith. " What God has
joined together, let no man put asunder" Matthew 19:6
