Pastor James D. Corbett

James Corbett is the founder and Pastor of Community Christian Church in Greenville, North Carolina. Community Christian Church is a spirit-filled word church and was founded in March 1982.

While serving in the United States Army, Pastor Corbett experienced a new beginning. In 1977, he was born again and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1978.
 
After eight years of active duty in the military, God called Pastor Corbett into the ministry. He then left the military and moved to Greenville, North Carolina. He attended Pitt Community College where he was a two-time honor graduate. He later achieved a BSA degree in accounting from East Carolina University in Greenville. Pastor Corbett received employment as a loan bank officer. In 1985, he ended his banking career and entered full-time ministry. He received his Doctor of Biblical Studies and Doctor of Divinity Degree from World Christian College Council in Fresno, California on December 4, 1994.  Pastor Corbett is currently the district director for the International Convention of Faith Ministries www.icfm.org.
 
Pastor Corbett and his wife Delores founded Community Christian Church in March 1982. The first service was held in his home with only three families in attendance. Because emphasis was placed on the Word of God, the services and Bible Study grew. The church relocated three times since then because of continual growth and has recently built a 1500 seat worship facility.
 
God gave Pastor Corbett a vision to minister to the whole man; spirit, soul and body. The vision includes reaching communities with the gospel and taking the message of Jesus Christ around the world. Pastor Corbett is fulfilling that vision by practical teaching of the Word of God, through Men, Women and Singles Fellowships, daily radio and television broadcast, teaching tapes and supplementary books. His tapes are widely distributed throughout the United States. He has also authored three books – Men of Honor, Tithing the Tithe and Honoring Your Husband-Honoring Your Wife. The vision also includes mass media presentation; training centers and schools for ministry; programs for the disadvantaged and a Christian school (grades K-12). 
 
It is Pastor Corbett’s desire to continue to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with signs and wonders confirming the preaching of God’s Word.
