PASTOR OF FAITH TABERNACLE
S t MATTIE ANN CALLIER-SPEARS
ELDER CURNEL W ALDEN was
born to the late Robert W alden and Mrs.
Jossie W alden, March 25. 1938, in the
state o f M ississippi. He dedicated his life
to Christ in a Sunday morning service at
Faith Tabernacle Church, in a store front
building on W illiams Avenue, February
17, 1963, where he was blessed and
couldn’t let go until God came into his
life and filled him with the Holy Ghost.
He w ent to fulfill a request, salvation
was just a prayer away. Since that day he
has been faithful in G o d ’s work and
dedicated to his call.
CURNEL W ALDEN came to Port
land June of 1944. His em ploym ent his
tory has been varied, such as: University
o f Oregon Health Science Center, Nate
Hartley Fuel Oil, Vancouver Foundry,
Columbia Steel Mill and his current place
o f em ploym ent is Jam es Rivers Paper
Mill in Camas, W ashington.
On Sunday, O ctober 14, 1990, an
installation ceremony was held at 4 p.m.
in honor o f Elder Cum el W alden. The
/? =
joyous ceremony was both spiritual and
cherishable.
His wife o f thirty years, the former
W illie Kennedy, sat at his side as he re
ceived his installation charge. Following
the morning service, the church held a
pot luck in honor o f Elder W alden’s new
assignment. As everyone sal eating,
enjoying the morsels prepared by the
fam ilies o f the church, Elder Walden
was scurrying about busily preparing for
the baptism o f a new member. As he
hurried, his white garment, that he was
wearing resembled angles’ wings stretched
wide and soaring.
Cum el will now serve as the assis
tant pastor to Bishop Grace C. Osborne.
As a mem ber o f Faith Tabernacle
for 27 years, Curnel has served in many
departm ents of the church, such as: usher
board, choir, deacon, trustee, youth
departm ent,youth leader, Sunday school
teacher, chairman o f the deacon board,
janitor, church transportation, coordina
tor and appointed pastor in charge.
Elder Walden was ordained by Bishop
Louis W. O sborne in 1972, which was a
day that he shall always rem em ber and
hold dear and near to his heart.
Cum el and W illie W alden are the
proud parents o f not one but four sons-
G ary, Cory, Bryan and Byron.
Elder Walden received a certificate
ot appreciation for serving the longest,
continuous m em bership in Faith T aber
nacle’s history and he has received sev
eral certificates o f honor in other areas.
He attended Aenon Bible extension,
A.L. Hardy Academy o f Theology, re
ceiving a Bachelor o f Theology (B.TH).
God has truly blessed Elder Walden.
For in his Christian walk, he has been an
unselfish servant of God. He has touched
the lives o f so many. As a side job, he
repairs furnaces for many who would
otherw ise not be able to have their fur
naces operating. W hy? He does many
for gratis. Just because. Or-he will say,
“ Pay me w hatever you can afford.”
Curnel is one who follows leader
ship and his trust is solidly anchored in
Christ Jesus. Congratulations! ! And may
G od continually bless your ministry.
John 3:16
Jesus Loves You!
For God so loved the
world, he gave his only son
for those who should not
die but have everlasting
life.
