Bishop Isaac Jenkins Sr., 55 years and counting

A lot of things have changed over the past 55 years. Ten presidents have been sworn in, high-speed internet was invented, but one thing has remained the same – the pastor at New Macedonia Baptist Church in Pocomoke City, Md.. Bishop Isaac Jenkins.

Over the years Jenkins has not just served his church, but also his community..His organization Save The Youth,  has helped over 4,000 at-risk kids and over 400 high school drop outs get their GED’s.    

For his work, Jenkins has received accolades from local judges, senators and even President Barack Obama.

It will be 55 years this October that Bishop Jenkins has been pastoring New Macedonia Baptist Church. That’s the longest any pastor has stayed at one location on the Eastern Shore he says.
