Reverend Peter S. Edwards Edwards, pastor for Goldsboro Church of God, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Peter S. Edwards's commitment to excellence in the religious field.

Reverend Edwards, who focuses most of his time at the Goldsboro Church of God, has been working in the Sacred Ministry for the past 54 years. After enrolling in the Jamaica Bible School (now Jamaica Bible College) in Mandeville, Jamaica, in the fall of 1957, Edwards began preparing for a lifetime of pastoral ministry. Following in the footsteps of his father, who not only had high hopes that his first born son would become a minister, Edwards pursued his dream, explaining that it was God’s plan for my life.

As an active pastor, Edwards provides a number of services to his parish members. First and foremost, he preaches sermons, saying, "Preaching, teaching and caring for people are the hallmark of faithfulness in my career as a minister." He also leads bible study, visits members of his congregation in their homes, and provides his services their hospitals when they are sick. Edwards conducts weddings and funeral services, and counsels the bereaved in many circumstances as well. He is also active in a number of other events that arise throughout the course of the year.

Edwards, a professor at Grace Bible Institute School and School of Theology, has been teaching theology and biblical studies since 1999. He’s received a doctorate in ministry in 1998 from Convington Theological Seminary, followed by a PhD in Religion in 2001 and hopes to earn a third doctorate degree within the next few years in Education from Liberty University. He has received a Citation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, House of Representatives, in 2001 and a Certificate of Commendation for service to the city of Harrisburg by Mayor Stephen Reed in 1994. He's also been published in God Stories through The Regional Church of Lancaster County in 2008. Dr. Edwards is also a member of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. In his spare time, Peter enjoys fishing and reading.
