First United Pentecostal welcomes new pastor

The First United Pentecostal Church of Rayville would like to welcome the Rev. Stacy Thomas as its new pastor. 

The Rev. Thomas and Mrs. Jana Kincaid Thomas along with their two children, 15-year-old Connor and 8-year-old Erin, were elected to replace Bishop Robert Stroud upon his retirement in November 2017. Bishop Robert Stroud and Mrs. Beth Stroud will be greatly missed.

Rev. Thomas is from the Winnsboro area and has been in the ministry for 25 years. 

He is a seasoned preacher and pastor and is very excited to welcome what God has in store for Rayville UPC. 

Mrs. Jana Thomas is originally from the Start area and attended Rayville UPC with her family until they moved away in the early 90s. 

The church is happy to welcome Sis. Jana home and would like to extend an invitation to everyone to come out and visit Rayville UPC and meet the Rev. and Mrs. Stacy Thomas and their family.
