Joel N. Holmes
Reverend Joel Holmes serves as bishop of the First Pentecostal Church. Bishop Holmes is married to Jonette. At the age of sixteen, Bishop Joel Holmes began preaching. He traveled throughout the United States and Canada evangelizing until the age of nineteen when his father, Bishop A.O. Holmes was stricken with a paralyzing stroke. At this tender age, he assumed the pastorate of the First Pentecostal Church. Under his able leadership, the church experienced growth—spiritually and numerically. Bishop Joel Holmes is a visionary who has led the church through three sanctuary building campaigns, and numerous other projects. The hallmark of his fifty years of ministry is prayer. Bishop Joel Holmes preaches on prayer, and he lives it.
