Curtis A. Nunn Sr. the pastor of Bethel Christian Worship Center is a product of the East St. Louis area. He attended University of Illinois Champaign, Urbana, Washington University, and Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. He is married to the love of his life Kimberly G. Nunn and they have six children that are involved in ministry in the body of Christ. Pastor Nunn states that " One of my major concerns as a minister is the lack of positive images in our community and the general sense of hopelessness in our society. I know that the answer is the gospel of Jesus Christ which is a powerfully positive force for change when allowed to operate in our hearts and lives," My primary call is found in Ephesians 4:12 "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ".
