      Elder McKoy lives his life as a true servant of God, preaching and teaching the unadulterated gospel.  His goal on this journey is to minister to the lost and prepare those that are saved to work in the vineyard, striving to make heaven our home.  He is a firm believer in the greatest commandment of God and that is “Love ye one another.”

      In these days and times, it is a privilege and honor to meet a man whom God esteems so highly and has awarded so greatly, but as Christ is the King of Kings and was low and humble, when you are in the presence of greatness you are amassed with humbleness - that is Pastor Elder Roland T. McKoy, III.
