Pastor Wade’s enthusiasm to share the good news of Jesus Christ has opened doors for him to preach both locally and nationally. Pastor Wade is a United Way board member, and serves as a board member of First Things First, a foundation developing quality early childcare. Pastor Wade is proud to be a third generation proclaimer of the gospel. The first two generations include his grandfather, the late Dr. J. C. Wade, Sr., pastor of the Salem Baptist Church of Omaha, Nebraska (affectionately known as Daddy Wade); and his father Dr. Melvin V. Wade, Sr. Pastor-Emeritus of The Mount Moriah Baptist Church of Los Angeles, and past president of the National Missionary Baptist Convention of America. Although Pastor Wade graduated from Seattle public schools, his quest for higher learning afforded him the privilege to matriculate at the historic Bishop College of Dallas, Texas, Grace Seminary Long Beach CA, and G More Seminary Muncie, IN. Pastor Wade has three wonderful children Latrisha, Tiffany, and Marques.
