Rev. Abe Simon, Associate Pastor
After serving his country in the army during WWII, Abe Simon went to work at an oil refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. It was there that he answered the call to preach in 1948. He then enrolled at East Texas Bible college where he met and married his wife, Ruth. As a result of God's blessing, the Simons have four children and numerous grandchildren.
Rev. Simon has ministered as a church planter and pastor in Texas and all over Virginia, accumulating over 57 years of ministry experience. He's also been familiar with Clover Hill since it's beginning in 1969, and since 1988 he's served as the associate pastor and leader of the Golden Age fellowhip.
We're glad to have Bro. Abe serving with us at Clover Hill. He and his wife Ruth offer years of experience and wisdom to our team as we seek to make an impact in our community for Christ.
