And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Our Pastor
Rev. Dr. Jermaine D. Keys
We thank God for our pastor, Rev. Dr. Jermaine D. Keys and welcome him and First Lady Chetyra Keys with warmth and love. Pastor Keys is a native of Laurel, MS where he graduated high school as a Mississippi Scholar. He went on to attend William Carey University where he earned his Bachelors degree.
Pastor Keys was called to the ministry very early in life. In January of 2013, he was licensed to preach at the age of nineteen and was ordained in 2015 at the age of twenty one. Dr. Keys recalls that “ I could never forget the burning desire I had to preach God’s Word and to love God’s people. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that God had purposed and predestined this work for my life.”
Pastor Keys has 8 years experience as a senior pastor and is very active with the National Baptist Convention where he has had the opportunity to both preach and teach. Pastor Keys shared that one of his favorite scriptures is Matthew 6:33. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” He is excited to join the Pleasant Green Family as our shepherd as we work together to do God’s will.
