Pastor Veronica Goodman accepted Christ at a very early age at her home church, New Piney Wood Chapel Baptist Church in Gates North Carolina. Her early years were spent in ministry through music as a member of the Goodman Family Singers. During her formative years she was a member and officer of the Junior Missionary Society, the Youth on the Move Ministry, and working with her mother in ministry in several choirs around Gates County and Virginia. Her first message was as a twelve year old from Ecclesiastes 12:1, “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth”.

Elder Goodman is the daughter of the late Rev. Carroll C. Goodman and Mrs. Eva Alleine Goodman. She is a native of Gates County, North Carolina and attended the Gates County Public Schools. Pastor Goodman labors in the vineyard for Christ on an on-going basis. She believes that only what she does for Christ will last. She is a born again, spirit-fed, Bible-led evangelistic pastor-preacher, born of God, engrafted into Christ and is a habitation of the Holy Spirit. She is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She is steadfast and committed to her faith and stands on the Word of God.

Amen.
