Welcome Address
“I WILL bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my
mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His
name together.”
~Psalm 34:1-3
A Sincere Christian greeting to our guests, fellow saints and friends. We greet you in
the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is with great delight and
pleasure that we welcome you to Berea Apostolic Faith Church. We are so excited that
you have chosen to worship with us today, at the place where we receive correct
teaching according to the word of God.
It is our prayer that you will allow the Love of Jesus to consume you and open your
understanding to understand His Word, and receive healing from whatever ails you.
Jesus said in His Word, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” It is our belief that you don’t
have to leave this place the same way you came in. Jesus promised “healing” for your
body, mind, and soul. Remember that you always have a standing invitation to worship
with us, and may this be a day that you will always remember.
Biography of Pastor Edward C. Matheny
Pastor Edward C. Matheny is the son of the late Mrs. Annie M. Ivy and Joshua
Matheny. He was born and raised in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. He is married to
Oberon Matheny. They have been blessed with five children, two daughters, Crystal
Joyce and Lydia Kay Matheny, and three sons, Victor Allen McNeal, Cedric Michael
(Millini) Matheny, and Geoffrey Lynn (Makeda) Miller. Pastor Matheny has seven
grandchildren, Nicholas, Kali, Victor III, Gabrielle, Isaiah, Lincoln, and Nimah.
Pastor Matheny was baptized in Jesus’ name and received the gift of the Holy Ghost on
January 26, 1979 under the ministry of District Elder Willie. W. Harris, Pastor of
Greater Christ Temple Church in Nashville, TN. As a college student at Tennessee State
University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Chemistry in
1981, he was awarded the “Rookie of the Year” for outstanding soul-winning in 1979.
Pastor Matheny served faithfully in various capacity of the church from
“groundskeeper, bus driver, Sunday school teacher, pastoral assistant and associate
minister. Upon graduation from TSU in 1981, Pastor Matheny moved back to
Indianapolis and became a member of Bethel Tabernacle Church under the leadership
of District Elder Owen Q. Young. He served faithfully as an usher, Sunday school
teacher, youth chairman, bible bowl participant and associate minister. During this
time, Pastor Matheny began to serve as council evangelist, International Convention
Teacher, Apostolic Bible Student Association Speaker and Panelist, Outreach Ministry
and Altar Worker. From 1983 to 1985, Pastor Matheny served as an Assistant Pastor
under two pastors, namely, Elder John H. Grier, Antioch Apostolic Church of
Indianapolis, Indiana and Elder Robert I. Scott, Christ Temple Church, Hendersonville,
Kentucky. In 1985, after the death of Elder John H. Grier, he became a member of
Grace Apostolic Church of Indianapolis, Indiana under the late Bishop Morris E.
Golder. During this time he earned his Master’s degree in Business Administration and
became instrumental in working with Aenon Bible College of Indianapolis, Indiana as
an adjunct professor. At Aenon Bible College, he helped develop instructional material
for “home study” ministerial training and licensing. He was ordained an Elder in 1994
and served in various capacities in the church. He was often called to teach Bishop
Golder’s Sunday School classes in his absence. In 1996, Pastor Matheny heeded the call
of God to move to Stone Mountain, Georgia, where he founded Berea Apostolic Faith
Church in his home, with just his family and a few newly met friends.
Biography of Pastor Edward C. Matheny (contd.)
In 1998, Pastor Matheny was lead of the Lord to move the ministry from his home to
3960 Rockbridge Road in Stone Mountain, Georgia. As the Lord led him, this small
unoccupied building was renovated and this became the place of worship for next six
years. During this time, the Lord added to the church as such as should be saved. As
the membership began to grow, Pastor Matheny founded the outreach program the
“Church in the Wilderness” feeding the homeless program.
In 2004, the Lord pressed upon Pastor Matheny’s heart to find a larger facility to worship. In July of 2004, Berea Apostolic Faith Church moved to their current location at 850 South Indian Creek Drive, Stone Mountain, Georgia. Elder Matheny believes that every born again believer has the responsibility of winning souls for Christ. He also believes that it is the duty of the church to train and equip Ministers, Deacons, and Missionaries for this great task. Therefore, it is his goal to train and equip future leaders of the church, so that they can be effective in their ministry.

Berea’s Vision Statement
Vision – is the ability to see the opportunities
within your current circumstances.
It is the vision of a place where many hurting, depressed, frustrated and confused
can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement.
It is the vision of people united together in one body working harmoniously, not
for self-recognition but serving to fulfill the will of God.
It is the vision of a ministry where every member is a part and doing their part for
the perfecting of the saints and the edifying of the body.
It is the vision of love in action! A dynamic love that reaches out to make
disciples of men.
It is a vision of light and life. The light of truth as demonstrated through living
the life of holiness and dedication to the things of God.
It is a vision committed to studying God’s Word and living the example, devoted
to sharing the Word with others.
And the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas by night unto Berea; who
coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble
than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of
mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
~ Acts 17:10-11 KJV
Berea’s Mission Statement
Exalt the Saviour, Evangelize the Sinner, and Equip the Saint
History of Berea Apostolic Faith Church, Inc.
The ministry of Berea Apostolic Faith Church officially began in September 1996,
with the filing of the Articles of Incorporation with the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. In
October 1996, Pastor Edward C. Matheny began the process of moving his family to Atlanta,
Georgia from Indianapolis, Indiana. Beginning in January 1997, Pastor Matheny and his
family, joined with neighbors and friends, held bible classes and church services in their new
residence, in Stone Mountain, Georgia. In the fall of 1997, the corporation was granted
501(c)3 status by the Internal Revenue Service. In 1998, the Lord laid upon Pastor Matheny’s
heart to seek another place of worship because they were outgrowing the “basement” services
in his home. The Lord directed Pastor Matheny to a vacant building at 3960 Rockbridge Road
in Stone Mountain, Georgia. After contacting the owner and negotiating a lease contract, the
few members of Berea worked to renovate the 1200 sq. ft. space. Three months later, in
November 1998, Berea held its first service in this facility. The Lord continued to bless the
work, and souls were added to the church.
In 2004, with the approval of the congregation, the church relocated to its current location at
850 South Indian Creek Drive, Stone Mountain, Georgia. The current property, which
features two buildings on 3 acres of land and was once a Masonic Lodge, met the needs of our
small but growing congregation. The church successfully negotiated a lease-to-purchase
contract with the Lodge leaders, and leased the buildings for the next three years, from July
2004 to May 2007. During this time, Berea worked to gain rezoning approval from the
DeKalb County Board of Commissioners. In order to purchase the property, rezoning was
required. Where two other organizations had previously been unsuccessful in obtaining this
rezoning approval, Berea’s request was denied, then appealed and finally approved. The
rezoning approval cleared the way forward, to proceed with the purchase.
In May 2007, the Lord blessed the congregation to purchase the property from the lodge.
Since that time, the Church has completely renovated the interior of the sanctuary. In 2010
we started a project to build out classroom space and a baptismal area in the lower level of the
fellowship hall building. In 2013, the church building exterior was painted. In 2014, a
portion of the driveway was paved, both buildings had roof and gutter replacements, and the
fellowship hall building exterior was also painted. In 2016, we purchased a church van.
Earlier this summer, we were blessed to restart the classroom build project and now expect to
have functioning classrooms by fall 2017. We plan to redecorate the fellowship hall interior to
make the space both attractive and community friendly.
In the near future, the church is looking forward to offering a ‘Before & After School’ program
for our neighborhood youth, becoming a host site for the GED program, and continuing to
build a strong bond within the community in which we serve.

Anniversary Guest Speakers
Bishop Reuben Graham, Sr. is the founder and pastor of True
Gospel Pentecostal Church in Dalton, Georgia. Bishop Graham was
saved and filled with the Holy Ghost as a young man at Christ
Temple Rapture Preparation Center in Rome, Georgia under Bishop
Nealon Guthrie. He and his wife Helen were faithful and fruitful
members there for 22 years. Having acknowledged the call of God
on his life to preach the gospel, Young Elder Graham was drawn to
Dalton, Georgia where there was no Pentecostal Assemblies of the
World church. He preached revivals and ministered at different
churches as requested and approved, but still the Spirit of God said
Dalton; the vision and mission for Graham was in Dalton.
With the approval of Diocesan Bishop David Braziel, he answered that call and came to Dalton
to begin a church. At first, there were just a few people who joined the Grahams at the
meetings at the Old Community Center on Fredrick Street; Deacon R.C. and Mother Mary
Shropshire who lived in Dalton but were members of Christ Temple in Rome, and sometimes
Minister Willie Caldwell and Deacon Earl Gibson who were friends and fellow laborers from
Rome. Soon however, these were joined by others who heard the Word of God being
preached in that room at the Center and came to be saved and join the little group. After the
first members joined, (Mother Nellie Cooper, her mother, Mother Mamie Weaver, her
daughter Sister Diane Bonds and Sister Wanda Weaver) Elder Graham was very much
encouraged and secured a building for regular church meetings. The assembly was named
True Gospel Pentecostal Church and there on South Hamilton Street in 1982, the work grew
and became fruitful. Over the years, the church would move four more times and arrive at a
newly built sanctuary at 109 Henderson Street. That building now houses the church
fellowship hall; the current sanctuary is next door to it.
Thirty-five years after answering the call to Dalton, Bishop Graham is going strong and is still
excited about the work that God sent him to do in the beginning; to preach the gospel of Jesus
Christ and teach the Word of God to help prepare people for the soon coming of the Lord. He
is active in the Dalton community as one of the chaplains at the Whitfield County Jail, an
active member of the Concerned Clergy of Greater Whitfield county as well as Project Destiny,
an organization that battles prison recidivism by providing encouragement, support and aid
for those who are leaving prison on parole or probation and starting afresh in their
communities.
Having retired from his job after 30+ years at General Electric in Rome, Bishop and
Evangelist Graham now reside in Dalton. They are the loving parents of six children, 19
grandchildren several great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

SPOKEN WORD EVANGELISTIC CHURCH
Dear Reader: When God said it, that settled it. Whether you like
it or not! You must remember that God is very strict in His
Commands.
Listen: There are many ways to be saved-(Born Again) according to
the teachings of man but, there is only One True way according to
God’s Word. That One True Way is the Way that the Apostles of
Jesus Christ taught and practiced in Acts 2:38;
Which Reads:
”Repent, and be Baptized every one of you in the Name of
Jesus Christ for the Remission of Sins, and ye shall receive the Gift pf the Holy Ghost.”
Acts 2:39 tells; that this Salvation belongs to all Mankind upon the face of God’s earth. It Reads:
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Serious Question: Should we Obey the Doctrine of men and not Obey the Doctrine of the Almighty
God of such an important matter as our Eternal Destiny? Remember, we must spend Eternity
somewhere; either in Hell or in Heaven Forever. Once we get in Hell we cannot get out. (Revelation
20:10 & 15)
Dear Reader: You better look into it, because eternity in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone is too long
to be neglectful; there is no end. The only escape route is to take the Apostles of Jesus Christ advice
and be safe. To fulfill Matthew 28:19 you must obey Acts 2:38 &39.
It is written:
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord harkened,
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared
the Lord, and that thought upon His name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of
hosts, in that day when I make up my Jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spared
his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous
and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not
Malachi 3:16-18
Congratulations Pastor Edward Matheny and First lady Oberon Matheny

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY!
Pastor Edward C. Matheny & Berea Apostolic Faith Church
God has blessed us with a man of faith, a man of vision,
a man with a passion for lost souls, a man filled with the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Matheny, may God continue to guide you as you go forward in His Mighty Name.
May God shower His choicest blessings upon you.
With much love, the Shorter Family
Dear Pastor Matheny, God sent you to Stone Mountain to do a work! He has been mighty faithful these 20 years! Again I say - Continue to focus wholly on the work He called you to do. The vision shall surely come to pass! God said it, and that settles it! YOU SHALL REAP, if you faint not. Payday is coming soon, and very soon. Precious Saints of God – Remember the words of our LORD Jesus – “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Again I say - Don’t lose focus. Don’t be slothful. God expects faithfulness and obedience. Our reward is according to our work. Our eternal life is at stake. We can make it. Let us serve the LORD with gladness! As it is written in Matthew 16:24-27 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Love & Blessings to all, Lady Oberon Matheny
Thank You!
“Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue onto this day…” ~Acts 26:22 Greetings in the Mighty Name of Jesus!

make this Anniversary/Appreciation a success. On behalf of my wife, First Lady
Oberon and our family allow me to just take this opportunity to express our gratitude.

untiring work ethic in striving to make this celebration a success. I know that your job
has not been an easy one, but thanks for staying the course.
Thank you to the great saints of our church that have rallied together to show your love
for your leader and for our church. I am so thankful to have your support in this work
for the LORD. “Be not weary in well-doing…” the best is yet to come!
Thanks to our guest pastors, ministers, and congregations who have taken the time to
come and celebrate with us what the Lord is doing in this part of the vineyard. Thanks
for the fellowship, but more importantly for the friendship that you have shown!
And finally, thanks to the Berea Apostolic Faith Church Family! We are blessed to
serve as your Pastor and Elect Lady. We love you all.
Love and Blessings,
Pastor Edward C. Matheny
