Our Pastor

Rev. Mosengo J. Ndombe, Jr. was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, and raised in Knightdale, NC. He is the eldest son of Deacon Mosengo J. Ndombe, Sr. and Deaconess Jacqueline W. Ndombe. He has three siblings: Mrs. Jackie Lewis-Gorham, Ms. Patricia Lauren Ndombe, and Mr. Mosengo Michael Ndombe. He is married to Mrs. Alexis Ndombe of Asheville, NC.

Rev. Ndombe earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later pursued his calling in ministry, obtaining a Master of Divinity from Shaw University Divinity School.

Before entering full-time ministry, Rev. Ndombe worked as a teacher in the Wake County Public Schools System, where he was dedicated to shaping young minds. His passion for faith and service led him to answer the call to ministry, and on August 29, 2021, he was licensed into the gospel ministry. He was later ordained on June 30, 2024.

At his home church, Oak City Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC, Rev. Ndombe faithfully served in various capacities, including Usher, Sunday School Assistant Superintendent, Young Adult Ministry Vice-Chair, and Youth Minister. His commitment to the gospel and leadership in ministry prepared him for his current role as Pastor of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Monroe, NC, where he has served since October 2024.

Beyond his pastoral duties, Rev. Ndombe enjoys traveling, playing video games, and engaging in deep biblical study for both personal devotion and sermon preparation. His favorite scripture is John 3:14-15:

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

Rev. Ndombe is committed to preaching and teaching the Word of God, encouraging believers to grow in their faith, and serving the community with love and compassion.— Quote Source
