Pastor Tony has a passion for history and is an avid genealogist. In addition, he loves the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and shooting sports.

Miriam began working at Beulah as a part time secretary in January of 2019. Before coming to Beulah, she served as a full time Administrative Assistant at Mount Vernon Baptist Church for approximately ten years before retiring from working full time. Prior to her time at Mount Vernon, Miriam was an elementary school teacher for twenty-eight years.

More importantly than her work history is that she has been a Christian since she was ten years old, and her desire is to live a life that brings glory to God. Her parents raised her in a Christian home where they always served others. They were splendid examples of serving in the community and church and raised their children to serve others. She enjoys her work at the church where she has numerous opportunities to serve. In both her work history and in her life, Miriam has always strived to serve God first then serve the people around her.

Miriam is married to Ronald Pendergrass, and they have two sons, one grandson, and three great grandchildren. She also has three great nieces and nephews that love their Mimi. She loves spending time with her great grandchildren and playing with them. They help to keep her active by playing tag and hide and seek.

If there is anything Miriam can do to assist you, show would love to hear from you. She is in the church office Monday through Thursday from 8 until 12.
