PASTOR JAMES D. CORBETT
 |
James D. Corbett is the founder and Pastor of Community Christian Church in Greenville, North Carolina. While serving in the United States Army, Pastor Corbett experienced a new beginning. In 1977, he was born again. In 1978, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. After eight years of active duty in the military, God called Pastor Corbett into the ministry. He then left the military and moved to Greenville, North Carolina.
Pastor Corbett and his wife, Delores, founded Community Christian Church in March 1982. The first service was held in their home with only three families in attendance. Because emphasis was placed on the Word of God, the worship services and bible studies grew. Because of continual growth, the church has relocated three times.
God gave Pastor Corbett a vision to minister to the whole man: spirit, soul and body. He believes the gospel is for the whole man. The vision includes reaching communities with the gospel and taking the message of Jesus Christ around the world. Pastor Corbett is fulfilling that vision by ministering practical teachings of the Word of God, through men, women and singles fellowships, seminars, crusades, newsletters, daily television and radio broadcasts, teaching tapes and supplementary books. The vision also includes mass media presentations, training centers and schools for ministry, programs for the disadvantaged, and a Christian school (grades K-12). Pastor Corbett's tapes are widely distributed throughout the United States. Many lives have been saved, healed and delivered by the power of God through his ministry.
Pastor Corbett also attended Pitt Community College where he was a two-time honor graduate. He later received a BSA degree in accounting from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. Pastor Corbett was employed as a loan bank officer. In 1985, he ended his career and entered full-time ministry. He received his Doctor of Biblical Studies and Doctor of Divinity Degree from World Christian College Council in Fresno, California on December 4, 1994.
It is Pastor Corbett’s desire to continue to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with signs and wonders confirming the preaching of God’s Word.
