Our Pastor

Reverend Barron O. Wilson

Reverend Barron O. Wilson is a “God Fearing Preacher of the Gospel.”  He was born and raised in Jersey City, NJ and is the third son of Pastor W. W. Wilson and Evangelist Ethel Wilson.

 Willingly accepting the call to ministry, he allowed Biblical truths to lead and guide him.  1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Let no one despise your youth; be an example to the believers in the word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith and in purity.”  In 1990, he became the youngest Pastor in the state of New Jersey and served as Pastor of the Union Baptist Church of South River, NJ for ten years.  Being obedient to the will of God, in 2000 he succeeded his father and became the Pastor of the Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Jersey City, NJ where he served for fifteen years.  In 2016, after being led by the Lord he returned to the Union Baptist Church, South River, NJ and after serving as pastor for two years he was called to the First Baptist Church - Gainsboro, Roanoke, VA where he served as Senior Pastor for four years.  In July 2023, he accepted the call to Pastor the Second Missionary Baptist Church, Jacksonville Florida.

 In May 2016, he graduated with a certificate in Christian Ministry from the New York Theological Seminary, New York, NY through independent studies.  He has acquired many achievements along his journey.  His compassion for others led him to organize “Treasures of Truth” Community Development Corp, a non-profit faith/community-based organization that provides assistance to needy families.  He is also the founder of B.O. Wilson Ministries, a former Financial Secretary of the United Missionary Baptist State Convention of New Jersey, and a past President of the Quarterly Union for the Christian Fellowship Missionary Baptist Association, Newark, NJ.  He authored his first devotional book “From Principle to practice” that was released in April 2019.

 Rev. Wilson is most proud of his greatest accomplishment and commitment for in the year of 2002, he was joined together before God with the apple of his eye, the former Tamica Michelle Chisolm and they are the proud parents of one daughter, Brielle Lois Wilson.

As Shepherd, Pastor, Preacher, and Teacher, he instills sound doctrine and spiritual principles of a vision: "By preaching Christ, teaching the saved and reaching the lost, we will impact the church to manifest the mission of the church, and as a result, we will develop a holistic relationship with Jesus Christ".

Reverend Wilson personifies Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”.  He is a servant of the most-high God and his love, compassion, and heart for God and God’s people has kept him grounded and in constant       pursuit of God’s will.

His Motto: The greatest thing a man can know, is the will of God; the greatest thing a man can do, is the will of God; the safest place a man can be, is in the will of God; and the most dangerous place a man can be, is out of the will of God.
