​Reverend Stubbs is passionate about the word of God and its ability to transform lives. He believes the heart to winning souls to Christ is not solely by what you say, but by what people see as a result of your life. His favorite scripture is Matthew 6: 33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness , and all these things shall be added unto you. (KJV)
