Meet our Pastor, Rev. William D. Laird Jr and his wife and our Assistant Pastor, Rev. Robin H. Laird.
High school sweethearts, William and Robin married in July 1975. Pastor Laird was in the air force and the couple was transferred to Tuscon, AZ. While there, they began attending Faith Tabernacle Church where God used that ministry to touch their hearts and transform their lives.Their son, Christopher, was born in 1976.
The couple was so excited to share what God had done for them. After years of working in different church departments and teaching home Bible studies Pastor Laird felt burdened to return back east to start a "Faith Tabernacle" in Pennsylvania.
The Lairds strongly believe in teaching others the plan of salvation, making sure they are prepared for the return of the Lord. Their goal is to reach as many souls in New Kensington and the surrounding areas with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pastor and Sis Laird are licensed with the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI).
