Deacon Denise Pailin
Dean, Christian Education Development
Greetings Beloved,
Thank you for stopping by our Christian Education Development website page. As the youg(er) folk say, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion - along with a playful smile in my voice) I believe that right here we have the very best of the best teachers, tutors and instructors that the Kingdom has to offer anywhere. We all simply love what we do!
Below, we have our Vision and Mission Statements set above our Chrstian Ed's daily motto. These short statements say it so well: we are totally committed and invested in building families and community for the Kingdom of God.
🔭 Vision Statement
To raise up a community of lifelong learners who love God’s Word, live by God’s truth, and light the way for others — across generations, seasons, and stages of life.
(This vision honors both the “youngster” and the“seasoned;” it's designed to help bridge the cross-generational richness of our church family.)
🎯 Mission Statement
The Christian Education Ministry of New Unity Baptist Church exists to equip, empower, and enlighten God’s people through consistent and Spirit-led study of the Holy Bible — nurturing a faith that grows deep roots, bears sacred fruit, and leads to abundant life.
✨ Motto
"Growing in Grace, Living in the Word, Investing in Eternity."
There you have it. So, now, come journey together with us in joy, friendship, and fellowship. And when you come be sure to bring your whole self — your testimony, talents, questions, and quirks — into a safe, sacred community as we learn, laugh, and grow in grace.
Whether in the formal classroom, the sanctuary, or over a shared photo and cup of coffee, we are students of the Word and seekers of God’s eternal truth.
I sure hope that you and I will bump into each other real soon this season. Perhaps along the way we can share family photos and a good laugh as well.
The Lord's richest grace to you -
His Chosen, His Royal, His Holy, and Peculiar (1 Peter 2:9).
Deacon Inell Colvin
Karios Kingdom Adult Class, Lead Teacher
Hello Everyone,
I am Inell Colvin, newest staff member of the Christian Education Development Ministry (CEDM).
I taught classes at the elementary school level for nearly 50 years! And now I am (more than) ready to put all of that energy and training to work in our wonderful CED Ministry with the adults, both male and female.
I'm asked all the time "Where'd you get that unique name of yours from?" And my reply never changes, "My momma gave it to me!" (I'm told that I have a very keen sense of humor and I love laughing, smiling, and bringing joy to others).
Some years ago, when my husband, Oddis, passed I was left to raise our young son alone. Today, he is married and pastoring in the great city of Detroit, Michigan. He and his wife have gifted me with 2 outstanding grandsons. What a life!
Today, my life is about a rich as ever. I am needed and I am excited to be alive. So many, many blessings in my life and I'm sharing my gifts with the world.
Chosen. Royal, Holy, Peculiar. (1 Peter 2:9).

Hi Everybody,

Deacons Phillip & Tamera Randolph, Sr.
Co-Instructors, Deacons Discovery Class
Hello Everyone,
We're Phillip & Tamera Randolph but in the New Unity Church we're also affectionately known as "Aquila & Priscilla" co-laborers in the gospel ministry of Jesus Christ (Romans 16: 3 & 4)..
My strong and handsome "Phil" is all so smarter than smart, and he says that when he first saw me 40+ years ago, it was simply "love at first sight!" One thing for sure we both fell in love with Jesus and all these many years later with Him we're still growing in the spirit of agape love.
We're blessed to teach the lay leaders, the deacons, of the church. Such an abundantly talented group they are! At times, they teach us in ways known and unknown. How mutually blessed we are!

Urban Faithers
Hello Everyone,
I love What I do!
As an accountant by trade I know the value of good recording keeping. So many people spend hours and hours of frustration getting ready for the annual tax season.
As in my profession, my job is not to answer the question for my clients but to make sure that they are equipped and fully prepared to respond.
So, it is with my students, preparing them for life's lessons and explaining how the calculus of 1+1+1 equals 3, the holy trinity, and yet it still remains 1.
Good recording keeping, the Holy Bible, has proven this over and over and over again. You can count on it.
Like I said, Folks, I love what I do!

Deacon Rhonda C. Thomas
Potters Primary Class, Lead Teacher
Good Day All,
I work at one of the leading medical facilities in the world. We have nurses, physicians, staff, and world renown specialist in virtually every department.
I am a teacher and also the Lead Usher here at New Unity. Serving others is my calling. Over the many years that I have worked at the hospital I have witnessed many miracles.
I know that God uses his creatures and his creation to bless the world over.
I am a mother of 5 and a grandmother of 10! My family and I all love worshipping and serving at the New Unity Baptist Church. My entire family mean so much to me.
My middle daughter is in the finals of her Nursing Studies - pray with me, won't you, that she'll become world renown as the kindest, most helpful nursing provider the world over - it's a Mother's Prayer - and I do still believe in miracles.
Chosen, Royal, Holy, Peculiar. (1 Peter2: 9)
