He didn’t wear a Big Tittle’ but was a living Epistle in his own rights’ he taught in the Calhoun County School system’ my nephew once told me that he was the most powerful role model in his life’ my nephews Father had died when he was 2 years old’ he would talk to pastor Anderson in School’he would encourage him all the time warning him of the danger of hanging with the wrong company and giving him words of wisdom, he was able to graduate and enlist in the Navy’ he was very sad to hear of his passing 😭 our prayers are with the family 🙏
Sighs…Elder Anderson & his beautiful wife and family were a pivotal part in my childhood memories. They were the sweetest. I will forever hold the humor, the joy, the faithful and the example they portrayed near and dear to my heart. They were gems. “ So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” RIP ELDER😩💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

To the entire family of Elder Elvin C. Anderson, we extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one.
Though his voice is now silent on this side of glory, the echoes of his advocacy ministry will be recorded in our hearts. His spirit of love and justice for his family and community which he poured into so many will resound for generations. . A life well lived. A servant well loved. A crown well earned. Rev. Anderson’s legacy is not just one of advocacy, it is a legacy of impaction, inspiration, and Kingdom excellence. Our loss is heaven’s gain; however, as you go through the process of grief, let it be a comfort to you, knowing God has picked one of his precious flowers from His garden of many. We will never forget the many acts of kindness Rev. Anderson gave his family and friends over his entire life. May God bless him with eternal rest and the family strength to bear this great pain.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing”. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Our sincere condolences and prayers go out to the Anderson family along with his church family. A couple of years ago, while coping with a major loss of his own, Elder Anderson took time out to assist my family in the passing of my niece (Natalie B. Singletary). What an Amazing man of God!!! He came through for us. May God return the same comfort and kindness to his family a hundredfold during this time. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
