-HIGH POINT - With the thought of
sfesving God to the best of his ability in
mind, Rev. Belvin J. Jessup continues his
mjnistfy, which has proven to be hard at
some times and easier at others. Still the
key words to his work are determination
and faith.
Rev. Jessup is presently the pastor of
Memorial United Methodist Church but
has pastored United Memorial Churches
in rural Greensboro, Asheboro, Char
lotte, Atlanta, Georgia and Chatanooga,
Tenn.
He was born in Surry County and
brought up in Forsyth and Guilford
Counties. He attended public schools in
Greensboro which was followed by
serving two years in the Army. Following
his two year term in the Armv, he went -
into the ministry, the year was 1962.
After several years out of school, Rev.
Jessup decided to return and with his
(key words) determination and faith he
attended University, and graduated in
1968 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Sociology and Psychology. In the same
year he pursued further education at
Gammon Interdenominational Theologi
cal Center, fmishing there with his
Master Degree in Divinity and Parish
Ministries.
Rev. Jessup comments, thinking back,
on how his two years serving in the Army
reflected on how to put his life together.
The Army helped him mature and
understand the true meaning of
responsibility.
In the earlv years, because of his family
financial situation. Rev. Jessup started
work at an early age. He recalls his
having to work his way through college,
high school and comments with a slight
laugh, “We were so poor, 1 had to work
my way through elementary school.” But
according to Rev. Jessup, he has not had
any job that was harde than being pastor
of a church. “All of my other jobs were
from 8:00 a.m. till 4 p.m., five days a
week but the ministry is an every day, all
day, 24 hour job.” “If not for me
preaching,” says Rev. Jessup, in a joking
manner, “I’d forget about it.”
The two things that he considers his
most outstanding achievements are
receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree
after several years away from school and
his accepting and entering the ministry.
His philosophy in life is for: Each
individual must find his potential as soon
as possible and put that potential to work
for the betterment of the church,
community and eventually the world. All
people have a worth, no matter how great
or small; all people have a contribution to
humanity.
The Reverend’s advice to youth is very
simple: “Find a faith and religion that
you can live with” and “Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.”
Rev. Jessup continues on the topic of
today’s youth by saying, “Young folk
wait too late to find out what life is all
about. It seems they dodge the issue.” I
would suggest that they get about the
business of living and stop making
