Pastor David L. Page

It was while serving in the U.S. Army in Bamberg, Germany, that Pastor David L. Page accepted his call to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He believes his service in the military prepared him well for his service in ministry. Commitment to a cause greater than himself, perseverance through adversity, willingness to be guided by a higher authority, and leadership skills are just a few of the lessons he learned in the military that have enabled him to become a humble and faithful servant of God and a strong pastoral leader.  He excelled during his thirteen years in the U.S. Army Finance Corps, receiving the Meritorious Service Award, three Good Conduct Medals, and three Honorable Discharge Awards.  During his military career, Pastor Page had the opportunity to preach and teach the gospel in both Europe and Asia.

Johnson, Sr. promoted Pastor Page to the position of Special Assistant to the Senior Pastor, which allowed him to travel nationwide with Pastor Johnson to conferences, revivals and workshops, and acts as liaison with other churches and organizations, while also directing Eastern Star’s Pastoral Care, Counseling & Visitation Ministry.
