RECOGNIZING PASTOR JAMES D. CORBETT

Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay a heartfelt tribute to Pastor James D. Corbett of Greenville, North Carolina, to honor his long and illustrious life in service to his God and country.
In 1977, Pastor James D. Corbett became a born-again believer and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit while serving in the United States Army. After eight years of active duty in the military, God called Pastor Corbett into the ministry. He returned to Greenville, NC, where he attended Pitt Community College. Pastor Corbett later received a BSA degree in Accounting from East Carolina University where he was a two-time honor graduate. Pastor Corbett went on to earn his Doctoral degree in Biblical Studies and Divinity from the World Christian College Council in Fresno, California in December 1994. He also received an Honorary Degree from Covenant Theological Seminary in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Pastor Corbett currently serves as the Eastern Regional Director and Trustee for the International Convention of Faith Ministries.
In 1984, Pastor Corbett and the late Pastor Delores Corbett founded Greenville Community Christian Church. God gave him a vision to minister to the whole man: spirit, soul and body. The vision includes reaching communities with the gospel and taking the message of Jesus Christ around the world. It includes mass media presentation, training sessions, schools for ministry, programs for the disadvantaged and a Christian K-12 school.
His practical teaching is done through individualized group fellowships, seminars, crusades, the Word in Season devotional, CDs, books, radio, internet and television broadcasts. His messages are widely distributed throughout the world. Lives are being saved, healed and delivered by the power of God through his ministry. He is also an author of three books: Men of Honor, Tithing the Tithe and Honoring Your Husband-Honoring Your Wife.
Pastor James D. Corbett and Lady Sarah were united in marriage in February 2013. They have five children, fourteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Together, they help meet the needs of people by reaching the lost for Christ.
Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring the accomplishments of Pastor James D. Corbett and recognizing all that he has done for his community.
