Sahuarita Church Of God In Christ

Our Pastor Lacey Colter, Sr.

Pastor Colter has had many adversities in his life, but he used them to the glory of God. He was stricken with typhoid fever at a young age and was sent home to die. He could not see, hear or walk, but thanks to a saved praying mother, those once deaf ears heard the calling of Jesus Christ, with those once blinded eyes he read the word of God, an with those once lame legs he now carries the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, and a dedicated man of God. He was a Police Officer for 15 years until his medical retirement. Never having to use his weapon he has talked people from committing crimes, using drugs and from committing suicide, yet, always witnessing to them about Jesus Christ. He has a BS Degree in Personel Management from N.A.U., a Masters in Counseling from the University of Phoenix and a Certificate of Completion from Ambassador Bible College. He believes in serving and teaching people the word of God. He has taught his members: (1)How to bring messages (2)How to conduct service properly (3)How to disagree without arguing (4)How to love each other in spite of our differences. These are just a few things our Pastor does. He accepts no offerings from the church, but he does make sure his members are provided for. He is an avid reader of the word of God and is constantly studying and teaching what he has learned. We love our Pastor deeply because he can chastise us in a way that we do not become angry and that lets us know he loves us. He is an Author of a book: Is Mr. God Bigger than my Daddy. This book can be purchased on 1stbooks.com under the author's name: Codas.
