His Journey has always been Rooted in Faith
Welcome to our church community! Meet our beloved pastor, Rev. Donald Bearce, whose life has been deeply intertwined with the Apostolic faith from an early age. Born and raised in the southeast Texas area, Rev. Bearce is a proud graduate of Lumberton High School.
From infancy, Pastor Bearce's spiritual journey began under the loving guidance of his grandmother, who introduced him to the Apostolic faith. This early exposure laid the foundation for his unwavering commitment to his faith and the church community.
Leah Bearce, our pastor's wife, shares a similar devotion to the Apostolic faith. Hailing from the Lufkin, Texas area, Leah discovered the beauty of the Apostolic faith during her teenage years. It was during this time that she learned about her grandmother's role as a pioneer Pentecostal preacher, alongside her grandfather. Together, they played a significant role in establishing several churches in east Texas.
The paths of Pastor Donald and Leah Bearce crossed at the Apostolic Church in Beaumont, TX. Their shared commitment to their faith and their passion for spreading the teachings of the Apostolic tradition brought them together. On March 13, 1999, they sealed their love and dedication to each other in a beautiful ceremony held at the same church where their paths first crossed.
Pastor Donald Bearce brings not only a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Apostolic faith but also a genuine love for our church community. His journey, intertwined with the rich history of the Pentecostal tradition, serves as an inspiration for us all. Join us in worship and fellowship as we continue to grow in faith under the guidance of Pastor Donald Bearce and his loving wife, Leah.
