Reverend Perry comes from Bethlehem Baptist Church in Simpsonville, SC under

the tutelage of Dr. Phillip M. Baldwin. He accepted his call into the preaching

ministry on July 26th, 2003, and after intense preparation, he preached his initial

sermon on July 11th, 2004 entitled “Turning Your Test Into A Testimony.” He was

officially licensed as a Baptist minister and also equipped to win souls for the

Kingdom of God

.

On June 4th, 2016, Reverend Vincent M. Perry was elected to pastor Lower Shady

Grove Baptist Church in Woodruff, SC. Since his inception as Pastor, four

ministries have been birthed into the LSGBC family: Greeters’ Ministry,

Intercessory Prayer Ministry, Praise & Worship Ministry, and the Voices of Victory

Choir. He has also worked hard to bring the church body closer together, strived to

grow our Bible Study Ministry, and has taught us the purpose of Bible study.

Reverend Perry is an example of how God can always turn nothing into something,

for it was the blood that changed his life and gave him purpose in his life. One of his

favorite scriptures comes from Romans 8:37-39 where it says “nothing can separate

you from the love of God!” No matter how high, how low, how good, or how bad,

God’s love can always find us. If it had not been for the Lord who was on our side,

where would we be? To God be all the glory!
