On August 2nd, 2021 our beloved Associate Pastor and Song Leader Brother Tom Earnest went home to his heavenly reward. He was so dearly loved by the Spoken Word Tabernacle Congregation, and we all will miss him more than words can express.  We thank God for His mercy in this difficult time, and trust He will continue to bring healing and comfort to Brother Tom's Family, Friends and Church body.
