Remnant Church Celebrates 15th Anniversary

Story by LaTasha Hewitt

The Remnant church in Burtonsville, Md., recently celebrated its 15th anniversary. Founded in 2009 by a small group of believers, the church has grown into a thriving congregation of 168 members. The theme, “Celebrating God’s Leading,” reflected its inspiring journey of faith and ministry.

The weekend began with Friday vespers led by Gary Wimbish, Allegheny East Conference’s vice president for administration. On Sabbath, more than 600 worshippers gathered in person, and 1,000 joined online to hear a sermon by Marcellus T. Robinson, president of the Columbia Union Conference. “It was a beautiful worship experience, where souls were refreshed, spirits uplifted and God’s presence [was] deeply felt,” shares Michael Pedrin, associate pastor of Remnant.

The church has been intentional about enhancing the worship experience. As a result, they invested money to upgrade the audio and lighting systems, including an LED wall. This renovation was put to good use, as the anniversary celebration concluded with a concert, glorifying God’s faithfulness.

Led by Senior Pastor Sujjan John and his team, the church is committed to continue exalting God and spreading the three angels’ messages.
