Bio of Elder Jerry Doyle:

Elder Jerry Doyle has been serving in this capacity at NEP house of praise 

since 2015. Born to parents of the Methodist faith, Elder Jerry’s Father was a 

Mason and his Mother was a domestic worker.  While raising her children and

her siblings children, She also worked many odd jobs to do what she loved. 

Elder Jerry joined the Air Force and spent 22 years serving his country in 

many capacities. He held the position of Material Handler for 18 of those 

years before he retired. He met the love of his heart Marilyn Warren and they

wed on October 2, 1969.  From that union, he received a son Derek and two 

beautiful daughters Kimberly and Alicia.

Elder Jerry had no intentions of joining a church.  However, through God’s 

calling, prayer and spiritual intercession, Elder Jerry joined Faith Mission 

COGIC in 1986. He was baptized a year before in January 1985 and ordained 

in Bangor Maine by Bishop Grayson.

After many years serving God as a Deacon and Sunday School 

Superintendent in Maine, The Doyles moved to New Hampshire in 1997. The 

Doyle Family started out at the Bread of Life Church for six years before  

transitioning to New England Pelham Church in Pelham New Hampshire. 

There he served in the capacity of Sunday School Teacher before joining with

NEP House of Praise in 2015.

To hold a position of Elder, one must be a person who is valued for wisdom, 

hold the position of responsibility and authority and blameless as a steward 

of God. He is above reproach, a faithful husband to his wife, temperate, 

vigilant sober minded, orderly, respectable, given to hospitality and able to 

teach. Elder Jerry carries these wonderful gifts without question and house of

praise is blessed to have one of such character.
