JACKSONVILLE, Ark. – New Commandment Church of God in Christ was devastated by the March 31, 2023 tornado, but now as they open the doors to their new home, they are also giving back to the community that helped them through the tragedy.
Senior Pastor Eddie Miller says the church has always acted as a service for the community but now they are able to expand those services with their new church home.
While they awaited the completion of the new church, New Commandment was able to purchase a small building adjacent to the building site, which acted as a temporary home. That building now turning into a service center.
“Training people to be electricians, training people how to be a plumber, training people, how to be a heating and air guy, we are going to offer these classes,” Miller said.
Miller stresses the importance of his calling from God to help people get back onto their feet and rebuild just like the church has had to do after the tornado.
