Dr. George and Cathy Black are the founding pastors of the Rejoice Church in Olive Branch, MS, a north Mississippi community in Memphis, TN metropolitan area. They provide the church with a wonderfully balanced husband and wife team that is an encouragement to the entire church. George is the senior pastor, leading the church with over thirty-four years of ministry experience, and widely recognized as a dynamic church builder with a relevant and life encouraging speaking style.
George began in ministry as a youth pastor in 1974 and has subsequently served six other churches as either associate or senior pastor. Raised a traditional Methodist, he encountered the nondenominational / Spirit-filled ranks of Christianity as a nineteen year old in 1971. He had a life changing experience with Jesus Christ that included receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit. From that point forward, he was called by God to preach the Gospel, build churches, and train leaders. This he has done by serving in various pastoral capacities, as well as preaching in many churches across America, and in various other countries.
Cathy Black, George's wife, serves as the co-pastor of the Rejoice church, and is a second generation ordained minister. She is an anointed worship leader and singer, and oversees the Music ministry, and Women's ministry. She is also an outstanding Bible teacher, having earned the nickname "the Joyce Meyer of Olive Branch". She is also a medical secretary for the Crosby Clinic in Memphis, TN.
Both George and Cathy are ordained ministers with Victory Churches International.
