Meet our pastor
Pastor Cole
Senior Pastor, The Pentecostals of Waycross
Pastor Cole has faithfully served The Pentecostals of Waycross with a heart for God's Word and a passion for people since 2021. His ministry is marked by a commitment to Apostolic truth, compassionate leadership, and a desire to see every person experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Under his leadership, the church has grown in both faith and community impact — from weekly worship and discipleship to outreach ministries like Joseph's Pantry that serve the greater Waycross area.
"We believe God has a plan for every person who walks through our doors."
How we began
Our History
Our story began in 1970 as Calvary United Pentecostal Church and became known as The Pentecostals of Waycross in 2011. This church was founded on a simple conviction: that the Apostolic message of Acts 2:38 is for everyone. From humble beginnings, our congregation has grown into a vibrant church family committed to worship, the Word, and one another.
Decades of faithful ministry have shaped who we are today. Through revivals, community outreach, and the steady work of discipleship, God has built something lasting here in Waycross, Georgia.
We are part of the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI), a global fellowship of Apostolic Pentecostal churches united by a common faith and mission.
