Pastor Reuben Goodwin and Lady Kimberly Goodwin

Pastor Reuben F. Goodwin, Sr. is a devoted Man of God who is truly saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost! Throughout his life, he continually gives all glory, honor, and praise to God for the multitude of blessings bestowed upon him. He is a very faithful and dedicated servant, committed wholeheartedly to serving God in every aspect of his life. As a loving, supportive, and caring husband, he stands firmly beside his wife, Missionary Kimberly. Upon receiving his Elder's license, Elder Reuben began fostering young men under his personal guidance in the Youth Church, where he hosted many youth every Sunday to seek the Lord and preach the gospel with passion. Elder Reuben has wholeheartedly served in a wide range of church ministries and committees, both within the local congregation and the Seventh Jurisdiction of the Illinois Church of God in Christ.

Missionary Kimberly Goodwin, the saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost-filled wife of our pastor, is an instrumental leader as the Jurisdictional YWCC President and Co-President of the Hospitality Committee. She is a very humble, loving, kind, gracious, and thoughtful woman who consistently demonstrates unwavering support for her husband’s ministry and all his endeavors. Missionary Kim diligently works behind the scenes to ensure the success of every project or program she is involved with. She is a quiet yet powerful force within the church, always ready and willing to assist in any task asked of her. We fervently pray that the Lord will continue to richly bless them both and elevate them to even greater heights as they serve Him faithfully.
