Welcome
On behalf of the Installation Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the official website for the Installation Celebration of Rev. Curtis L. McLaughlin II, Senior Pastor. It is our joy to share this sacred and celebratory season with you as we honor God’s call, celebrate our church’s rich legacy, and joyfully anticipate the future before us.
This website serves as your central hub for all installation-related information. Here, you may purchase tickets for scheduled events, access hotel accommodations and travel details, review the full schedule of services and celebrations, and find opportunities to support this historic occasion. We invite you to participate in our commemorative efforts by purchasing a congratulatory advertisement in the Installation Souvenir Journal, a keepsake that will document this moment for generations to come.
Thank you for your prayers, presence, and support as we prepare to mark this significant milestone in the life of our church. We look forward to celebrating with you and welcoming you to an unforgettable season of worship, fellowship, and thanksgiving.
With gratitude and anticipation,
The Installation Committee
