Pastor Romal Holder

Patricia and I are from the great state of Mississippi. Patricia is a native of Louisville and I am a native of West Point. We are both veterans of the US Army and she is a retiree. We met at Fort Polk, Louisiana in August of 1989 and married on Mar 10, 1990. Since then we are blessed to have 2 daughters (Sharita and Eboni) and 4 grandsons (Octavious, Cayden, Gabe, and Evan). We currently reside in Otterberg, Germany which is just north of Kaiserslautern and about a hour drive from Wiesbaden. We are an adventure seeking, low maintenance, compassionate and helping family. We give God all the praise for the life He has afforded us to live. We enjoy cooking new recipes, travelling, meeting new people, fishing (fresh and salt water), listening to all genre of music, binge watching television series and praising God.

While we both accepted Jesus Christ into our lives at an early age it wasn’t until later in life when we began to fully seek Him and attempt to live a life that would be acceptable to Him. I, Romal received Christ in the summer of 1993 and was baptized as an adult in 2002. Patricia has been working, worshipping and glorifying God from an early age also and continues to be on fire for God.  We both were raised in Christan homes and continue to utilize the lessons learned and we instill those lessons in our children and grandchildren. We even relay them to those who we come into contact with. Our spiritual journey has seen some highs and lows but God has always come through for us and he has never allowed us to want for anything that we needed.

As laborers of Christ we have worked in his harvest field in various positions. Some of those include, finance committee, outreach team/committee, youth director/minister, Sunday School and Bible study teachers, Ushers, choir members, ministry secretary, young adult minister/advisor and health/fitness organizers. We have an extensive amount of experience in each of these positions. We have participated in many outreach missions to feed the hungry, cloth those less fortunate and participate in prison ministries. I accepted my calling to the ministry in 2004 and preached my first sermon June 4, 2004 at Grace Baptist Church in Wahiawa, Hawaii. I was ordained in 2016 in Georgia.

In the secular society I, Romal, have held various positions within the Human Resources Management profession with Vice President of HR being my crescendo. Being a military spouse has afforded me the opportunity to work in various industries which include, Big Box Retail Hardware, California State government, credit union/financial institutions, hotel and hospitality, printing and energy. Patricia has over 35 years of service, including 20 years active duty Army and over 15 years Department of Defense (DOD) civil service.

I have served on numerous community and professional boards of directors. This includes volunteer fire department board, historical society, society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) Workforce Development Committee, Board of Directors South Atlantic Center for Veteran Education and Training (SACVET), Harris County Men’s Club and the Chattahoochee Valley Chapter Board of Directors for Credit Unions.

We believe in living life to the fullest and giving God the praise for every moment of it.
