Pastor James Stocker is the son of an Assemblies of God pastor.  He was raised in Orlando, Florida and graduated from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. Upon graduation from the university, he moved to Pennsylvania to be associate pastor of Littlestown, Assembly of God, Littlestown, Pa. He then became pastor of Bethel, Assembly in Girard, Pa. ( his soon to be wife's home church ). While pastoring Bethel, he and Sis. Bonnie married and had their first child, Adam. After some time, pastor Stocker and Family moved to Adrian, Pa. to pastor Adrian Assembly of God, while in Adrian, their daughter, Angie was born.  Again, after some time, the now family of four moved to Riverview, Florida. to pastor Riverview First Assembly of God. Then in the Fall of 1980, the Lord led the Stocker family to Centerville, Georgia to pastor Centerville Assembly of God. The Church has since been renamed, Berean Assembly of God.          Sis. Bonnie Stocker, went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ at  5:15 AM, Feb. 8, 2010. She was surrounded by her family singing praises to the  Lord Jesus Christ. As the family sang "Amazing Grace", she entered the kingdom of our God. The moment was filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit. She is completely healed as she dances the streets of gold. We as the church will deeply miss her and her upbeat spirit.   Soon we will be united with her and all those who have gone on before. Enjoy the Lord Sis. Bonnie. We love you.
