9SEPTEMBER 2015BODY OF CHRIST NEWS Pastors John and Mary Tellis Pastor John Tillis has been a faithful servant of God preaching the word for the past 10 year at Solomon Temple Missionary Baptist Church. He and his wife Mary continue to lead a small but growing congregation located in Denvers Park Hill neighbor- hood off 38th and Elm streets. In 1996 Pastor Tillis was serving as deacon at Central Baptist Church under the Rev. Willy Simmons. That is when he decided to listen to Gods call to preach. Pastor Tillis who is originally from Ruston La. came to Denver as part of executive management with ATT. He met his wife Mary while she was attending Louisiana Tech University. They have been married 38 years and were blessed with two sons and a daughter. As the pastor continues to nurture his congregation with the word he also wants the church to be a resource cen- ter for youth in the Park Hill commu- nity by focusing on teaching leadership training and partnering with schools. Its a lot easier to bend and reshape a sapling than a tree. We want to have the youths lives change in Park Hill considering all the gang violence and activities that are occurring Pastor Tellis said. However his mission is working for the Lord during a season where greater kingdom building is needed. Pastor Mary Tellis stands beside her husband when it comes to preaching and lifting up the vision of the church. She served with the American Baptist Churches of Rocky Mountain Region for six years. She now shares her pas- sion as a spiritual life coach. We just want to be the hands and feet for God. Reincarnate the message of Jesus and serving people without any expectations she expressed. Solomon Temple Missionary Baptist Church is located at 3880 Elm St. Sunday School is at 930 a.m. every Sunday morning and worship service starts at 1100 a.m. We want to have the youths lives change in Park Hill.
