I am truly grateful to Earlene Jenson Roberson, my wife, and to my grandchildren. God has blessed us with a beautiful and a very supportive family.

I am also grateful to you, the people of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Nevada (or whatever city you are from) for the support that you have given me. I cannot name all the people that have given their support because there have been MANY.

My Christian life began EARLY in my grandmother Williana Roberson's house and at the age of 16 years old, I accepted Christ in my hometown of Newellton, Louisiana at the Paradise Baptist church with Reverend H.Y. Taylor as my pastor.

I came to Las Vegas July 1957 and united with the New Jerusalem Baptist Church and Reverend F. N. Addison was my Pastor. Whatever I am today is a result of what I was taught and what I learned from Reverend Addison. My pastor was very supportive of me. I told Pastor Addison that I had announced my acceptance to preach the gospel in Hawthorne, Nevada. Pastor Addison said "You have to tell these people here at New Jerusalem, if you tell them today you will preach TONIGHT." Well, I told the membership. I preached my first sermon that Sunday night, May 25, 1965 from Psalm 1.

In 1966, I also began my radio broadcast career at KTOO. I also broadcast from KBMI, KVOV, KCEP and KLAV, serving in that capacity for 31 years. My last broadcast was October 5, 1997 on KCEP FM 88.1

I started my Pastorate at the Community Baptist Church February 1977 and was installed as Pastor April 1977. When God sent me to Pastor, I had only a few members and no permanent place or home to worship. We moved from the Pittman Women's Club building in Henderson, Nevada and worshipped at Zion Methodist in North Las Vegas from 1980 until we moved in our building in 1985. With the help of God, and you the people, we moved into our own building.

God has blessed us to implement many different classes for study. I was elected in July, 1997, as President of our Pride of the West District Congress of Christian Education. I served a dual role as President/Dean for one term. Currently, I serve as President of the Nevada/California Interstate Missionary Baptist Convention Congress of Christian Education. I am a graduate of the Deans and President class at the National Baptist Convention Congress of Christian Education.

We have extended our Sanctuary and God is still adding to our congregation. There is still work to be done! The Apostle Peter urges us to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
