The Pentecostals of Johnson City

      He served as Associate Pastor with Rev. Floyd Temple, Jr. at Apostolic Revival Center (a home mission effort) in Winnsboro/Baskin, LA in 1994-1995, and served in helps ministry under Bishop Virgil Harris at Apostolic Faith Chapel in Gilbert, LA in 1995-1996.  Beginning in 1997, Pastor Greene and his young family accepted the invitation of his former Pastor, Rev. C.D. Coon, to become Youth Pastor at the First United Pentecostal Church in Jena, LA and remained in service for the next three years.

      Feeling the “tug” to resign out of youth ministry and responding to a need, he began assisting Rev. Alan and Sis. Evelyn Wilson at the Olla United Pentecostal Church in Olla, LA from 2000-2002.  The late Rev. Alan Wilson impacted the Greene/Temple families greatly and is sorely missed.

      In the summer of 2002, Pastor Greene resigned his position at the Olla U.P.C. with intentions of moving to the Carolina states to work in the home mission field, but God had other things in mind.  The Greenes visited with  Pastor Todd H. Tucker at the Wallace Ridge Pentecostal Church in Jonesville, LA and remained there for six years.  They served in various capacities including Christian Education Directors, Board of Trustee Member, Pastoral Assistant, Assistant Pastor, and finally Associate Pastor.

       During this time with W.R.P.C. and Pastor Tucker, Pastor Greene received a vision of a church filled with black hands praising the Lord and with the help of the W.R. P.C. family and Pastor Tucker, Pastor Greene located a building and began holding services in an area of Jonesville, LA that no one else was willing to work for the Kingdom.  Thus, the Willow Street Apostolic Mission was born and the Greenes labored there for three years running simultaneously with his tenure at “The Ridge”.  “The Ridge” and “The Mission” were the heartbeat of the Greene family.

In the summer of 2008, after years of service in pastoral and evangelistic service, Pastor Greene received a phone call with an invitation to preach in “God’s Country” – Tennessee.  He came to preach a revival at The Pentecostal Church of Johnson City and found the fire already burning.  Pastor and Sister Greene were voted in as residing Pastor with a vote of 100%.

      In October 2009, the church decided by a 100% vote to change the name o fthe church to The Pentecostals of Johnson City.
